Distribución de planta con manufactura esbelta en las instalaciones de Elohimtex Cía. Ltda.

Abstract

This research project is based on proposing a distribution of facilities with a lean approach in the company Elohimtex Cia Ltda. The consideration of an efficient distribution makes the performance of the organization count with an improvement in productivity and optimization of resources. For the development of the proposal, the application of two strategic approaches, the SLP methodology and manufacturing cells, is approached. The techniques considered within the parameters of lean manufacturing are the value stream map, to analyze the current and proposed state; and Kanban cards that allow efficient control within production; each tool is intended to replace activities that do not generate value to the product to be developed and eliminate possible waste. To contemplate how beneficial the stipulated proposal could be, a simulation was carried out using FlexSim. When comparing the results of the current situation with the proposal, a 32% reduction in distance traveled is estimated. With these data identified through the simulation, it is evident that the proposal considered has important benefits within the elaboration of products in the organization, making that the processing times have a significant reduction.
