For this purpose, the following specific objectives were established: a) to verify the workflow in the line; b) analyze the movement of people and materials; c) to evaluate the production times; and d) analyze the produc tion methods in the line. The study can be classified, as to nature, as an applied research, and as to the objectives, as a descriptive research.
