Benefícios da implementação de limites superiores e inferiores em dados de produção e dashboard no setor sucroalcooleiro

Abstract

This study aims to demonstrate the benefits of implementing upper and lower limits in production data and dashboards in the sugar and alcohol sector. The methodological approach of this study consisted of qualitative and quantitative research. The study was developed through the creation and use of hypothetical numbers of TS losses (Total Sugar Content) in a sugar and alcohol industry. These numbers were applied in Statistical Process Control (SPC) formulas to estimate safe parameters for losses. The results obtained demonstrate the application of Statistical Process Control (SPC) in the sugar and alcohol sector, which is a tool that helps to monitor, evaluate, and assist in improving processes. It was shown that when using the SPC, it is possible to determine the quantity of production and whether it was in the upper or lower limit considering the standard deviation that covers the production of a certain stipulated period. When there is no statistical control, it is not possible to establish which of the items were in the upper or lower limit, therefore, there is an indeterminacy in the capability to quantitatively analyze a result in the process. After accomplishing the study, it is concluded that the statistical control and monitoring of data in the sugar and alcohol sector is a strategic action for the optimization of production processes, starting from the minimization of the variability occurrence and the estimation of safe parameters for losses, being a tool to obtain efficiency and quality of results.
