Mejora continua de los procesos de producción mediante sistemas kanban en Industria Cartonera Asociada INCASA S.A. Quito- Ecuador.

Abstract

The present research aims to make a proporsal of optimization of the production through the use of Kanban systems in the company INCASA of Quito city; for the development of optimization an information gathering, the DMAIC methodology of Seis Sigma is used, gathering information corresponding to the production process, operating time type and efficiency of the factors of production and need of material; then analyze the origin of the claims to the product, in comparison with the requirements of the customers and determine improvements according to the level of impact and feasibility of application. Through the technique Kanban develops an inventory control system, generating minimum stocks for the production and information for the process identified in the card. As support to determine the efficiency of the production process as carried out the simulation of the process in the software “Promodel” obtaining a 98% coincidence between the model and the physical process. Determining the business and process indicators, it was observed the level of development of continuous improvement of production process, as conclusion is determined by the Kanban the minimum stock quantities required for production in the company, and the areas or each type of product, based on its functionality and rotation of inventories. It is recommended to establish a continuous system o traceability to identify new points of improvement in the productive process
