Implementación del Modelo Lean Manufacturing para mejorar la línea de producción de una planta avícola

Abstract

This work was developed in a poultry company where chickens were processed through cutting procedures to distribute these pieces in the different varieties of products offered. Currently, the company has generated a process yield of 68.51%, which is below the permitted limit of 75%, so the objective of the work was to develop a proposal to improve the cutting process line of a poultry plant through the Lean Manufacturing model. Among the main research methods, quantitative methods were applied given the data to be analyzed for yield, availability and productivity during the cutting process during the year 2022. After analyzing this recorded data, engineering tools such as Ishikawa, Pareto and the FEMEA were used on the skinning machine. It was possible to identify that out-of-specification cuts, stoppages for replacement of cutting equipment and unscheduled stops in the skinning process were the faults that led to low performance in the process.
