Estudo das principais variáveis para tomada de decisão do corte, carregamento e transporte (cct) da cana-de-açúcar: caso de uma usina do oeste do estado de São Paulo

Abstract

The Sucroenergético sector plays an important role in meeting the demand for clean and renewable energy. In Brazil, the sector represents 15.7% of the Energy Matrix, 39.9% of the Renewable Energy Matrix and 26.8% of the Matrix of Vehicle Fuels. The main objective of this work is to study the main variables for the decision-making of the Sugarcane Cut, Loading and Transport (CCT) of a sugar mill in the west part of the state of São Paulo, in order to identify which ones make up The conceptual decision model, as well as, to describe the CCT process, to identify the main decision variables of the CCT process and to demonstrate the decision roles in the CCT of the studied plant. As a methodology, a research of an applied nature was used, with a qualitative and exploratory approach in the case study modality. In order to collect the pertinent information to the case study, a semi-structured interview was used with the responsible of the Cut, Loading and Transport (CCT) sector of the Plant. It is concluded that, the plant under study, uses a large part of the decision variables mentioned in the theoretical reference, and some of these variables form the conceptual decision model of the Plant, which are, quantitative of the milling of the crop, sectorization of the fronts of harvesting, harvesting potential, loading capacity, transport potential, sizing and optimization of the turnaround system. All the variables found in the plant have a high participation of the High and Medium-sized Management and moderate participation of the Operational Team in these decisions.
