Abstract

Analyzing the individual and collective productivity, and its relationship with the 5S methodology, for achieving the correct performance of the mechanical maintenance area in a cardboard plant. We tried to get a time reduction based on reorganization, signaling and deep cleaning to improve one of the main areas of the company. As a first step, the mechanical maintenance workshop was visited for a getting diagnosis of how the maintenance of the area was carried out and thus to determine the steps to follow for the application of the 5S methodology, time was also taken to analyze the individual productivity of technicians. We promoted a workshop where we carried out an analysis to decide the finest regulations to implement in some important sectors of the maintenance process and with the results, the steps to be corrected were programmed. It was found some in disuse and with damage, obsolete materials, dirt, and container in bad position, expired paintings and without correct delineation of each sector. Applying the optimizations based on the 5S methodology in its entirety in the area, would help to reach the level of individual productivity of workers, increasing about 6% to 12% the Labored quality improvement
