Abstract
Nowadays due to the great variety of automotive suppliers, the companies have adopted a cost reduction system which allow them to remain competitive for the main automotive OEM´s (Original Equipment Manufacturers). In this particular case, the studied company established as a mid-term objective the improvement of the productivity in one of its production lines that produced automotive electrical harnesses of the Clutch Jumper family during two work shifts, using thirty five direct operators per shift. Through the development of a resource optimization planning model, at the end of this research project, the manufacturing process in a single work shift was accomplished, thus optimizing the number of required operators, material handling equipment, electrical devices and natural resources. This without affecting neither the daily production rate nor the quality of the finished harnesses.
