Diseño de la distribución de planta para mejorar los procesos productivos en la empresa Deportex

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to propose a physical redistribution of the facilities of the company DEPORTEX. An integral proposal is presented to improve the operational efficiency, proposing a physical redistribution of the facilities. The importance of this study lies in resolving identified bottleneck in the ironing process, and improving the company's production capacity. To achieve these objectives, several procedures were used, such as time analysis, Guerchet's method for calculating the physical space required, SLP methodology for plant layout, FlexSim simulation and the application of WinQSB software. The results obtained revealed that the proposed redistribution generated a significant increase of 12.05% in monthly production, eliminating the need for overtime and generating an estimated monthly savings of $1068.96. This approach not only improves DEPORTEX's operational efficiency, but also optimizes resources and strengthens its competitiveness in the athletic hosiery manufacturing industry. The main contributions of these results include providing DEPORTEX with a practical strategy to improve its operational efficiency, effectively adapt to market demands, and improve its profitability. This research, by offering tangible solutions, contributes to the more efficient management of resources and to the company's ability to face the challenges of the industry successfully.
