Implementación de un sistema de control y análisis de la producción en la Empresa Curtiembre Quisapincha aplicando las herramientas del Lean Manufacturing para incrementar la productividad.

Abstract

The present technical project was to implement a production control and analysis system in the Quisapincha tannery company applying the manufacturing tools. For which method and time engineering techniques were used for the elaboration of process and route diagrams; lean manufacturing tools VSM (process analysis), 5’S (order and cleanliness of work areas), kanban (production cotrol) and TPM (maintenance plans). This project began with the collection of data through visits, photographs, surveys, interviews, review of historical data and information provided by the company; A general mapping of the value chain was carried out identifying and quantifying the different types of lean waste, in the same way the solutions based on activities that do not add value by taking as solution the implementation. A production control system based o cards, 2 movement cards (light blue for the wet area warehouse and green for the dry area warehouse) was designed and 3 production cards were developed (yellow for the wet area, orange for the dry area and blue for the area of the finished product). The cards are placed on a KANBAN board that allows the production manager to carry out planning and process control activities where it is verified what order of production must be done, which one is being made and which one is made. Regarding the results, 3958 minutes (8 days) lead time were reduced, productivity increased production from 5.77 skins/day to 8.33 and in terms of costs it was reduced from 62.51 dollars/skins to 59.18 dollars/skin. Finally, it is recommended to periodically analyze the current situation of the production process through the VSM to determine future lean waste.
