The Cost

Globalization and advanced manufacturing technologies have forced manufacturing firms to increase productivity while reducing costs. At the same time, customers are increasingly demanding better products considering tangi- ble (e.g., smell, color, taste) and intangible (e.g., mark, fair treading, and envi- ronmental responsability) attributes. Currently, Brazil consolidates a position as the largest producer and exporter of coffee, accounting for 30% of the inter- national coffee market. This paper presents a stochastic model for performance evaluation and planning of coffee manufacturing process aiming at reducing the cost and time of the production cycle. An industrial case study shows the practical usability of the proposed models and techniques.

And Control

The study aims to present the industry's 4.0 concepts and facilities available on the market, applied in a German instrumentation and control industry in Brazil. The study aims to present advanced manufacturing technologies that are already being applied in the company studied. As a research method, a bibliographic review is done first, followed by a qualitative, quantitative and descriptive analysis of the results of a case study. The results are intended to present the company's maturity level in relation to Industry 4.0 (I.4.0) as well as to diagnose possible new applications to increase the control and monitoring of its activities. At the end of the paper, suggestions for future studies will be available to complement the methodology proposed in this study.
