Propuesta de mejora de la productividad en la confección de pantalones para mujer aplicando herramientas Lean Manufacturing

Abstract

In the development of this research work, a high difficulty in reaching production levels when making women's pants in the Milton's company has been detected as the main problem, for which it has been proposed to apply one of the Lean Manufacturing tools, Prior to this, the textile sector in the manufacture of clothing is analyzed at an international, national and local level, so that later the conceptualizations of lean tools are analyzed in depth. The study methodology is given in a non-experimental design whose scope focuses on descriptive, exploratory and purposeful research applying both the inductive-deductive method, as well as the synthetic analytical method. The primary sources commissioned for the collection of data correspond to the observation of the production processes, times and those responsible, also identifying waste of raw materials in the storage warehouse, so that when carrying out the current diagnosis, unnecessary elements are detected that hinder the space and thus the delivery of materials to other departments, so the 5s are applied as a Lean Manufacturing tool to facilitate the classification and cleaning of equipment and raw materials. In addition to this, the VSM (Value Flow Mapping) is also applied, in which the production times are identified in each stage, so opportunities for improvement are detected, also carrying out a future VSM, whose indicators measurement are given by the Takt Time and the Cycle Time, necessary to verify compliance with the previously established times.
