ABSTRACT
This is the analysis of the efficiency of production of one small sawmill, located in São Paulo, using as an instrument of study the “Mass and Energy Flow”, available in the production line. It was concluded that the disposal of the machines should be modified, and that the inclusion of a process of planning of cut design is necessary so that the system becomes viable, since the current configuration presents low income with great percentage of loss and inadequate use of equipment and raw material. Concerning the tools, similar results were found and because of its ease of utilization the “mass and flow” is recommended to the sawmill pattern evaluation.
