Atraso no Ciclo de Aprovação por Documentação Manual de Procedimento

2 verified sources

Definition

Pre-production and customer handoff require signed-off WPS, current RQS (soldador qualification), and documented material certs. Manual document hunting, email approval chains, and paper-based verification add 3–7 days per project before customer can perform Final Inspection/Test Report (FITR). Delays in invoice issuance push AR days from 30 to 40–50+ days, eroding working capital.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: 3–7 days per project cycle = ~15–30 days AR drag annually; cost of capital on delayed invoicing: R$ 8,000–R$ 25,000 annually (based on typical 5% monthly cost of working capital and R$ 200k–R$ 500k monthly revenue).
  • Frequency: Every project delivery; amplified during peak production (4+ simultaneous projects)
  • Root Cause: WPS/PQR documents stored across shared drives, email, or paper files; no single source of truth; approval workflow requires manual email/signature cycles; no automated compliance verification at handoff

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Manufacturing companies in Brasil lose 20–40 days of AR (Accounts Receivable) annually due to approval bottlenecks on welded product deliveries. Automated procedure specification verification and digital approval workflows recover cash 1–2 weeks earlier.

Multas e Embargos por Não-Conformidade com NR-13

R$ 120,000–R$ 250,000 per enforcement action (equipment embargo, production suspension, remediation labor). Typical fines: R$ 15,000–R$ 50,000. Lost production revenue during embargo: R$ 100,000–R$ 200,000 per week for mid-sized manufacturer.

Retrabalhado por Especificações de Procedimento Incompletas ou Desatualizado

8–15% of labor hours (typical: 40–80 hours per month for mid-sized fab shop); rework materials: R$ 5,000–R$ 20,000 per customer rejection; customer compensation/warranty claims: R$ 10,000–R$ 50,000 annually.

Multas e Paralização por Não-Conformidade NR-13

Estimated: R$ 50,000–150,000/year per manufacturing facility (labor authority fines for non-compliance, equipment shutdown losses, remediation/reconstitution labor @ 200–400 hours/year @ R$ 150–250/hour for qualified engineers)

Sobrecusto de Certificação por Engenheiro Registrado Brasileiro (BRE)

Estimated: R$ 30,000–80,000 per design project (BRE hourly rate R$ 200–350/hour × 100–200 review hours; project delays @ R$ 5,000–10,000/week × 4–8 weeks)

Rework e Rejeição por Falhas de Conformidade de Material e Procedimento

Estimated: R$ 80,000–250,000/year per mid-size manufacturer (5–10% of annual revenue × typical vessel value R$ 500,000–2,000,000; rework labor 200–400 hours @ R$ 150–250/hour; customer compensation/warranty claims)

Atraso no Recebimento por Falta de Prova de Conformidade NR-13

Estimated: R$ 100,000–500,000/year working capital impact per mid-size manufacturer (20–40 day cash drag on R$ 500,000–3,000,000 annual revenue; carrying cost @ 5–8% annual interest rate)
