Abstract

The present degree work has as objective to improve the productivity in the production line of rolling doors in Industrias Metálicas Vilema in Guano Canton, through the application of Kaizen and 5S methodology, fundamental pillars of the lean manufacturing system. The application of the Kaizen methodology began with the measurement of the work, the study of methods and redistribution of the plant, these methods helped to understand the process of the general form, in such a way critical factors were identified in the process that could improve. To complement the study, the 5s methodology was applied.

In conclusion, when implementing these tools, the company generated productivity greater than 34% of doors per hour, with an installed capacity of 70 doors with a saving of 45.73%, with respect to the number of activities of the process and having a Tack time of 3, 4 hours.
