Implementación de un plan de mejora en las líneas de producción de la Empresa “INDUVEST S.A” en la ciudad de Riobamba

Abstract

The main purpose of this degree work was to carry out and implement an improvement plan for the production lines of INDUVEST S.A. focusing on the production area and the standardization of the production process for the manufacture of products such as industrial tactical pants and industrial overalls. The time in each work section was not used in the best way since there were irregularities and a bad distribution of the workload, which caused downtime in the production process. In order to obtain the information, a quantitative and qualitative analysis were implemented, which included: field work, direct contact with each operator, taking photographs, videos, time and bibliographical research. The different activities carried out in each work section to obtain the different products were determined. By means of a critical analysis based on the process, operations and route diagrams, the standardization of the production process was carried out and by implementing POM in line balancing and the 5S methodology, the process was optimized, designating an equal workload for all operators, and improving the organization in the execution of the different tasks. As a result of the implemented application, the manufacturing time of the industrial tactical pants was reduced from 97.95 to 77.53 minutes, for the industrial coverall the reduction was from 106.21 to 85.43 minutes, also the calculation of the reduction of total production costs was made, obtaining as a result for the industrial tactical pants the reduction from $17.13 to $16.44 and for the industrial coverall from $21.51 to $20.75, all this indicates that the process is more efficient and there is order in the production process.
