In this work, a computational implementation of the production flow analysis for a small company, riamelly, the software GROUPTEC, has been proposed. Using GROUPTEC a case study has been divised and applied to a "Paranaense" company from the branch of aluminum manufactured products. Four analyses of the production flow analysis have been performed, that is. the factory flow analysis, group analysis, line analysis and tool analysis. After the application of the above technique, the final results related to the technological cells and their constituent elements, part families and machinery groups lead to an optimized cell arrangement, with a grouping efficiency of approximately 98%. A productivity gain of 30% has been estimated with the time-inmovement of the parts and time-in-waiting-lines at the machine.
