PRODUÇÃO DO PÃO FRANCÊS
estudo de caso em uma pequena empresa
Abstract
French bread, for many years, has been one of the essential foods on citizens' tables. In bakeries, it is the main product, which makes developing its production process even more important. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to analyze the production process of French bread in a small bakery, located in a municipality in the center-west of Minas Gerais, and verify possible bottlenecks throughout the process. The study was carried out through qualitative, descriptive research, which used the case study method, with data collection carried out through on-site observation. It was possible to detail the entire production process of French bread, its distribution, and logistics, also analyzing compliance with product-specific legislation by the bakery. In the end, bottlenecks were found, which made it possible to suggest improvements to make the French bread production process more efficient in the bakery in question.
