Resumo: | Bus production is a singular industry due to the product variety and customization usually required by clients. Buses are usually conceived based in a chassis where a frame is built, following the safety rules adopted by the sector. The external view can be similar, but some construction aspects and internal view are usually defined by the client, leading to a high customization. Thus, the bus can be manufactured in a common line, but the different configurations usually lead to a complex assembling process that needs to be carefully thought. Moreover, this kind of industry is permanently subjected to huge competitiveness and sustainable evaluation, which implies a rigorous cost planning and production, avoiding budget problems. This work was carried out in a bus manufacturer located in the Porto surroundings, which produces a large number of bus types for airports, tourism, urban or scholar purposes. The factory has three different production lines, being each one allocated to a different kind of bus manufactured. The lines needed an optimization and balancing improvement, thus, this study intended to make a contribution to this purpose. |

Os autocarros são normalmente concebidos com base num chassis, onde é construída a estrutura, seguindo as normas de segurança usuais no sector. A vista exterior dos autocarros pode ser similar, mas existem alguns aspectos construtivos e o interior, que são normalmente definidos pelo cliente, conduzindo a uma elevada personalização do produto. Assim, os autocarros podem ser fabricados numa mesma linha, mas com configurações diferentes, levando normalmente a um complexo processo de montagem que necessita ser convenientemente pensado. Acresce que este tipo de indústria está permanentemente sujeito a uma elevada competitividade e avaliação da sua sustentabilidade, evitando problemas relacionados com o não cumprimento do orçamento inicial. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido numa empresa construtora de autocarros sediada nos arredores do Porto, a qual produz um diversificado leque de tipos de autocarros para aeroportos, turismo, urbanos ou para transporte escolar. A fábrica possui três linhas diferentes de produção, estando cada uma alocada a um tipo diferente de autocarro fabricado. As linhas de produção necessitavam de uma otimização e balanceamento e este estudo pretendeu dar uma contribuição nesse sentido.Silva, Francisco José Gomes daRepositório Científico do Instituto Politécnico do PortoThirumal, Saravana Kumar2021-02-22T01:30:19Z20182018-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.22/11422TID:201882043enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-03-13T12:53:29Zoai:recipp.ipp.pt:10400.22/11422Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:31:47.908187Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
