Reingeniería de los procesos industriales del departamento de planificación y control de la producción en la Empresa Incorea (Edison Recalde)

Abstract

This work establishes a reengineering in the processes of the Planning and Control Department of the INCOREA company. The manufacturing processes are wire drawing, wiring, extrusion, and preassembly. It has been identified that there is disorganization in this department, which causes different problems in the manufacture of electrical cables, in addition to the limited availability of data and documented information on processes and production. Production planning is carried out empirically, especially concerning machine allocation, which leads to low productivity in the processes. As part of the analysis of the current situation, indicators were used to measure performance, such as observed time, productivity, and efficiency of each of the processes. Among the results, the lowest productivity corresponds to the pre-assembly process, with a value of 403.15 m/h-operator; in terms of efficiency, the most critical process is wiring, with an efficiency of 44.4%. The situation demanded the need to establish a reengineering in the planning and control process, for this reason, a master production plan was developed, which contemplates the manufacturing time, process planning, and sales forecasts considering the list of the most sold cables in the period 2019-2020. To control the master plan, a checklist and indicators for measuring time, productivity, and production efficiency were developed. The purpose of implementing the master production plan focuses on facilitating production management, taking into account the different types of electrical cable orders and the particular characteristics of each one. At the same time, tools are provided to project sales and take control of the production chain.
