    This degree work aimed to carry out a work measurement study of the sports footwear production process at HCH-Shoes, whose empirical management generated unproductive times and difficulties in meeting a wholesale demand of 20 to 40 dozens per week. Under a quantitative, descriptive approach, process flow diagrams, travel charts, and analytical process charts were developed for the five areas of the line (cutting, printing, stitching, assembly, and finishing), and the zero-return stopwatch method, together with allowances for fatigue, personal needs, and working conditions, was applied to determine the standard time of each element for the highest-demand model. The findings identified the stitching area as the main bottleneck, with a standard time of 34.41 min per batch (12 pairs), more than twice that of assembly (12.99 min), constraining the weekly capacity to 17.44 dozens against the required demand. The therblig analysis further revealed prolonged mold searches in cutting, unnecessary transport in assembly, and an elevated cleaning time in finishing (1.646 min/pair, 51.5% of the area's standard time) due to cement residue. Based on these findings, a physical plant redistribution proposal was designed by applying the Guerchet Method, which enabled the technical calculation of the minimum required floor space for each area: 70.51 m² required versus 58.11 m² available in the current layout. The proposed design allocates 68.60 m², covering 97 % of the required space and reducing travel distances in the assembly area from 36.49 m to 7.92 m per batch, thereby decreasing process time from 2 h 10 min to 1 h 49 min. Second, a structured 5S Methodology implementation plan was developed, aimed at eliminating non-productive time caused by the disorganization of tools, molds, and materials identified in the therblig analysis. Both proposals directly address the problems detected and fulfill the diagnostic, measurement, and improvement objectives established in the research.
