Propuesta metodológica para la reducción del reproceso en el envasado en funda de productos lácteos ultrapasteurizados, a través de la aplicación de herramientas del mantenimiento total productivo en una industria láctea de la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

The present research work "Methodological proposal for the reduction of reprocessing in the packaging in sleeves of ultra-pasteurized dairy products, through the application of tools of total productive maintenance in a dairy industry in the city of Quito" is focused on the design of a strategy based on the guidelines of the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) methodology, and directed based on the selection of one of the pillars proposed therein; being the most adequate and concordant the autonomous maintenance and its tools. With which it is intended to reduce the non-conformities that occur and to leverage the decrease in the volume of reprocessing, visualized in the indicator of the global efficiency of the equipment (OEE, for its acronym in English) of the company. Among the conclusions that the investigation produced, it was established that the process presented a deficit in the machine-man relationship, which leads to the reaction times before one stop per machine impacting the process and consequently its final product. It is worth mentioning that the company has both human and economic resources required in the proposal, which makes it feasible to implement it. The methodology applied in this investigation mentions the quantitative investigation with which general recommendations were reached that allowed the proposal to be elaborated.
