Article Main Content

Getting a competitive advantage is the challenge in the current context for companies. Thus, to achieve this result it is necessary to add value to the product or service. This ends up reflecting the way the transforming resources are disposed in the production process, influencing the increase or not in productivity. Most micro and small companies do not have a good management plan, delaying improvements in their production processes, among them the best use of their physical spaces. It may seem simple, however, getting a best use of the space available for a production line ends up becoming a task that usually takes time and costs. Consequently, the main objective of this article is to present, through an on-site case study in a graphic micro-enterprise, a proposal to improve the paper bag production process, allowing for a better reuse of manufacturing flows and reducing the movement of people, products and materials.

Keywords: Layout, Microenterprise, Paper bag, Physical arrangement
