Propuesta de mejora del proceso productivo de una empresa de confección textil ubicada en la ciudad de Quito aplicando principios de “LEAN MANUFACTURING”

Abstract

The following study aims to structure an improvement proposal that facilitates the increase in quality in the production process of a textile factory through lean manufacturing instruments: 5S, total productive maintenance (TPM) and change of dies in the middle of ten minutes (SMED) in the production environment of a textile factory, with the purpose of reducing or eliminating waste, optimizing the company's current resources. The implementation methodology is based on three stages, as the beginning, sharing the information of the tools to the staff, training, encouraging the participation of the working group with an area leader, who will guide the implementation from beginning to end, as a second part they are implemented models to standardize the job, activities, production time and minimize contempt, the third stage is to follow up on the implementation, KPI management indicators are proposed for this, a prior diagnosis of information is important that will allow verifying the evolution of the quality tools, management commitment is a vital part of this process. The TPM tool integration suggestion is based on the reduction of losses related to unforeseen stoppages, quality and costs in production processes. SMED's approach will allow the future study of alternatives for the decrease in the time of changing materials and machine adjustments with practical solutions with the support of the maintenance and production team, the proposed changes could generate an increase in productivity up to 5 %
