Propuesta de implementación de un Sistema Just-In-Time (JIT) en el proceso de Almacenamiento en Frío para Mejorar la Eficiencia y Calidad en una Empacadora de Camarones

Abstract

In cold storage of shrimp, waiting times affect the quality, freshness and texture of the product, in addition to increasing operating costs. This project proposes to implement a Just-In-Time (JIT) system in the IQF area before storage, analyzing current processes and eliminating bottlenecks using tools such as the Deming cycle. The aim is to improve operational efficiency, reducing waiting times by 30%, downtime by 25% and the rate of rejected products by 20%. In addition, temperature quality control will be implemented to guarantee optimal conditions, applying continuous improvement techniques in the aquaculture industry.
