Optimización de la producción en el área de soldadura de la Empresa Ciauto Ambato mediante el balanceo de línea, utilizando estandarización de tiempos para el modelo M4.

Abstract

The demands of the present research, where the market is changing, competitive and adaptable to the needs of the customers, make companies look for new ways to optimize their processes and productivity with the application of different working methods. The optimization study on the welding line, used the standardized time for balancing automobile production model Great Wall M4 joined by CIAUTO; It began with an analysis of the theoretical foundation, then the identifying of production processes was undertaken in seven workstations as; the measuring average times using audiovisual resources, the calculation of normal time and the calculation of the standard time using as a factor in job performance over the based on Westinghouse tables, the calculation of supplements work and later with standard times to make diagrams predecessors to these data to determine the rolling line and the corresponding allocation of work. With the new change in production, it optimized to 10 automotive units, resulting in a 25% increase in productivity considered one Takt of 45.5 minutes, with cycle times in the JIG1 - JIG2 equal to 37 minutes 24 seconds, JIG3 equal to 42 minutes 12 seconds, JIG 4 with 36 minutes 42 seconds, JIG5 - JIG6, 28 minutes 48 seconds and JIG 7 with 45 minutes 18 seconds, recommending continue studies of times and movements throughout the process to be continuous in the Company.
