Análise e proposta de restruturação da oficina mecânica da CDM (Cervejas de Moçambique) - Maputo

Abstract

In the bustling factory of Cervejas de Moçambique (CDM), where every part plays a crucial role in keeping the production lines constantly running, there is a mechanical workshop that, although equipped with a lathe, a drill press, and a hydraulic press, is used only for making repairs to imported parts. The technicians, with skill and dedication, perform tasks such as reducing shaft diameters and manufacturing nylon bushings, but the workshop is far from reaching its full potential. Despite having basic infrastructure, the factory faces the challenge of relying heavily on imported parts, which not only increases operational costs but also risks production continuity in the event of supply delays. It was in this context that an idea began to take shape: the possibility of transforming the workshop into a more efficient production hub, capable of reducing this dependency and bringing greater agility to operations. Thus, the project “Analysis and Restructuring of the CDM Mechanical Workshop” was born. With a vision to fully explore the workshop's capabilities, the project proposes a detailed analysis of existing processes and the implementation of improvements that could transform the workshop into a strategic pillar for the factory. The goal is clear: to implement production capacity, optimize existing resources, and ultimately create a workshop that not only makes repairs but also is capable of producing parts with quality and efficiency, ensuring the continuity and growth of CDM. The story of this project is a journey in search of autonomy and innovation, where each proposed improvement represents a step towards a more independent and competitive factory in the Mozambican market.
