Utilização do SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) como ferramenta de análise e planejamento do arranjo físico de instalações que compõem os sistemas intensivos de terminação de bovinos de corte.

Abstract

The intensification of the systems of animal production suggests that the future of the production is not increasing amount of animals, but in the productivity indexes increasing. In this sense, the facilities that compose the finishing intensive systems of beef cattle have great influence in the animal performance. Therefore, there is the need of study of methods with scientific base in the architectural projects, eliminating subjective and/or intuitive forms in the decisions. Through diagnoses of the current situation of finishing intensive systems of beef cattle in productive units of the North of Minas Gerais State, it was identified the main problems in each unit, classifying each one using the study of activities and facilities flows. For the analysis of data, SLP (Systematic Layout Planning) was used, in the elaboration conventions for identification, visualization and classification of activities and constituent interrelations of the finishing intensive system of beef cattle.
