O layout tem interferência direta nos sistemas produtivos das empresas. Contudo não é tarefa fácil prever todas as variáveis em seu rearranjo, e se ao final atenderá às metas globais da empresa. Buscando contribuir com esta questão o presente estudo propôs uma nova abordagem para análise de layout, empregando a simulação de eventos discretos e os indicadores operacionais da Teoria das Restrições (TOC), para avaliar qual o arranjo físico mais adequado – celular ou funcional - a ser utilizado em um setor de misturas de uma empresa de alimentos. Esta análise foi realizada sob a perspectiva dos seguintes indicadores operacionais da TOC: ganho, investimentos e despesas operacionais. Inicialmente foram identificados os produtos mais vendidos em um período de 12 meses, por meio da curva ABC. Em seguida foram realizados os projetos de layout: funcional, através do método de planejamento computadorizado de relação de layout (CORELAP); celular, através da análise de fluxo de produção (FPA). Depois de realizada a modelagem dos layouts com os dados coletados, as simulações foram rodadas e posteriormente analisadas com base nos indicadores operacionais da TOC, apontando ao final o layout mais adequado. Os resultados mostraram que o layout funcional apresentou o melhor desempenho sob a perspectiva dos indicadores operacionais da TOC, proporcionando o aumento no ganho (+12,34%), redução nos investimentos (-11,47%) e redução nas despesas operacionais (-18,71%). Este estudo demonstrou que o layout funcional, no contexto estudado, ofereceu maior flexibilidade produtiva, impactando de forma positiva nos indicadores operacionais da TOC e que tais indicadores podem ser ferramentas efetivas na comparação de layouts.

AbstractThe Editors of the Journal are bringing to the readership's attention the most recent medical news and issues deserving consideration for developing medical and health policies, standards or use, and knowledge in counseling patients in preventive care. The readers might wish to visit additional medical news websites which are readily accessible, some free of charge, such as MedScape, Stone Heart, American College of Physicians and the World Medical Association news websites.

AbstractThe first decade of the twenty‐first century was a hallmark for natural and human‐made disasters. The world community continued to experience regional conflicts, terrorism, environmental degradation, death, and economic losses. Disasters will continue to happen and proper support, through a granting program, will be necessary to explore and bench mark best practices in Disaster Medicine.
