Abstract

The present degree work refers to the implementation of a Continuous Improvement system developed at Halley Corporation, the basis of the project was to evaluate the impact of the execution of the PDVA (plan, do, verify and act), on its productivity. Through the diagnosis of the initial situation, the factors that affect the manufacturing process were evidenced in order to identify opportunities for improvement, which the prioritization of causes was carried out based on the Pareto chart, from this, the absence of the standardization of the work method and the absence of an order and cleaning methodology that lead in a 55% productivity in the manufacturing system were detected. To counter this problem a continuous improvement plan was designed using the PDVA management tool. In support of this tool, methodologies such as Methods and Times and 9S’s Methodology were applied, which contributed significantly to the achievement of the objectives established in the present investigation. With the execution of the action plan a comparative analysis was developed before and after the application of the strategies, determining that the manufacturing time of the product was reduced by 5% and 84% was achieved in accordance with the 9S’s methodology, with this, productivity in the industrial safety line increased by 87%, which at the monetary level would represent a 5.6% increase in the company's income, that is, $ 45,136.00 per year. It is concluded that the implementation of the PDVA cycle together with quality improvement tools allow to increase productivity. It is recommended that the company incur the process of continuous improvement evaluating persistent problems so that the results obtained remain.
