“Diseño de una propuesta del indicador Verall Equipment Effectiveness en las líneas de producción de botellones y botellas de 500 ml en una planta embotelladora de agua”

Abstract

Design a proposal for an Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) indicator for the production lines of large bottles and 500 ml bottles, which allows the efficiency, availability, and quality of the product in a production order to be quantified. Through a literature review, the target value to be achieved is determined and a measurable and achievable value is established. The application is determined for the lines that produce the items with the highest demand in the market. To comply with the implementation, documentation was collected for data recording, creation of a database, dissemination and training of manufacturing area personnel, and a control panel to measure and monitor the progress of the indicator on a regular basis. The main causes of unplanned and planned stoppages are defined in order to quantify the time affected in production orders. By recording the times in a database, an analysis is performed to identify the main causes of non-compliance with a production order and decreased productivity, in order to propose corrective and preventive action plans between the production area and the support areas. The proposal consisted of the following phases: problem analysis, goal setting, documentation gathering, training, and implementation. Using the bibliography and process knowledge, a measurable and achievable objective was determined to guide the work team in monitoring. Monitoring and controlling results provides guidelines for applying corrective measures in the production process and ensuring continuous improvement, staff commitment and empowerment, and increased competitiveness for the company.
