In the pharmaceutical industry, production planning responds to changes in customer demand and internal company processes. Processes in this industry are not value-additive, although the industry does present opportunities for improvement, such as reducing overtime, which occurs more than 30% of the time; reducing production rescheduling, which reaches 40%; and improving level of customer service for state institutions, who represent 70% of purchase orders. These situations need to be improved within the company; and as a result, a sales and operations model that includes direct labor planning is designed. This model should enable a reduction of overtime and calculation of the amount of direct labor taking into account efficiency level. In practice, this is the expected outcome; it is achieved via the decisions made by the operations executive.
