The Scheduling Process in a Depot from the Brazilian Air Force

Abstract

The Brazilian Air Force (BAF) in its logistic structure contains 5 Air Logistic Centers (depots). This thesis concentrates its analysis on one of the most important BAF depots located at Sao Paulo (PAMASP). This thesis explores the scheduling process currently used in PAMASP. This thesis adopted a managerial approach in a sense that it looked to take a big picture of the current process. The researcher performed field interviews with the goal of describing the process. During the visit to PAMASP, the researcher also gathered problems related to the process. The recommendations stated on this study were based on the knowledge about scheduling developed in the literature review. This study intends to give managers some material to perform improvements in the current process. The improvements recommended in this study are in the following areas: sequencing rules, due date assignment, cross training, task description, and capacity measurements.
