Estudio de tiempos y movimientos para la mejora de la productividad en el proceso de producción de suelas para calzado en la empresa Preplast

Abstract

The unproductive times, non-standardized times, and unnecessary movements in the production area of the company has generated a low productivity and non-delivery to customers, so, this research project deals with a study of times and movements in the process of injection of shoe soles in the company PREPLAST to increase production levels. The research starts from the identification of the current situation in which the productive process of the company is located, collecting information on all its processes and facilities through direct observation and interview with the administrator and the production manager. Likewise, an analysis has been carried out with the sales histories of the last year provided by the administrative area, managing to identify that the Lili expanso chocolate 37 sole is the most demanded product, therefore, this model of sole was the object of study in the present research. Through the measurement of times by timing, development of flowchart, analytical diagram, synoptic diagram, man-machine diagram, route diagram, plant redistribution and application of the SMED methodology, it is possible to establish improvements in the productive process of the company. As a result of the present research, it has been possible to establish the standard time for each area that makes up the production process of the most demanded soles, and from the times and distances traveled, a redistribution of plant has been proposed in order to minimize the transportation costs carried out. Likewise, the preparation time of the injector has been reduced by applying the SMED methodology, increasing the number of soles produced in a working day.
