CELIO FRANCISCO FILHO AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DYNA’S PRODUCTION LINE IN PARANÁ: A STRATEGIC CASE IN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING AND SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION

Abstract

This article examines the strategic implementation of a new automotive components production line by the Brazilian company Dyna in Paraná, led by mechatronic engineer Celio Francisco Filho. The project was designed to enhance supply chain efficiency and integrate closely with the Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing systems of Volkswagen and Renault in São José dos Pinhais. Through the application of lean manufacturing principles, advanced automation technologies, and logistics synchronization, the initiative significantly reduced delivery times and improved quality performance. The case demonstrates how industrial engineering, when combined with strategic project management and regional development planning, can generate measurable outcomes in productivity, reliability, and competitiveness. The study also highlights the importance of human capital and Industry 4.0 tools in enabling agile, high-performance manufacturing operations in the global automotive supply chain.
