Estudio de tiempos y movimientos en la empresa de calzado Pacco Baroti

Abstract

The work was carried out at Pacco Baroti, a company dedicated to the manufacture of footwear, which needed to improve efficiency in the production of its moccasin model F001 HB(N02) and standardize its production processes in the areas of cutting, roughing, assembly and finishing. After a detailed review, unnecessary activities, such as inspections, were identified as delaying production. To solve this problem, we used the Delphi Method, a technique for consulting experts (in this case applied to the company's workers through a series of questions). As a result, the moccasin model F001 HB(N02) was selected as the product with the highest demand. Then, analytical and synoptic diagrams will be elaborated to analyze and understand the production process in a general way. From this, a time and motion study is carried out to calculate the standard production times and the company's capacity. With the help of the "5 whys" methodology, unnecessary activities are identified and eliminated, thus reducing production times and increasing the company's capacity. In addition, a line balance was carried out to determine the optimum number of operators in each production area. As a result, production times were reduced, the company's capacity was increased by 4.84% and the optimum number of operators in each production area was determined.
