Estudo da relação entre a engenharia de produção e a agropecuária

Abstract

Agriculture has a large enterprise in the social and economic order of Brazilian agriculture, making the sector grow significantly every year. Allied to this bias is production engineering, which, through the application of its tools, allows for increased productivity, insertion of technologies, sustainability and several other benefits. In this, this project study explores the applications of engineering areas in the Brazilian agricultural sector, with the objective of collecting data already disclosed and verifying the challenges and opportunities in the area. With this in mind, the following methodological procedures were developed: definition of journals with publications of production engineering applications in agriculture, and selection of these scientific articles for filing, exploratory reading and categorization, analysis of categories and presentation of findings. As studies with specialists, there are interviews with specialists and professionals, agricultural producers, integrated with studies and studies on the subject. As a result, relationships between the areas of Production Engineering and agriculture are observed, with applications in decision-making processes, organizational management, mathematical modeling and programming and scenario simulation. Among the challenges identified were financial management and the production product; Opportunities include support for decision-making and strategic business management. It is expected that Federal University of Pampa engineering work proposals, to the possible research related to agriculture and livestock.
