Optimización de tiempos de producción en la fabricación de cajas metálicas para medidores eléctricos en la empresa Ecuamatriz Cia. Ltda. de la ciudad de Ambato

Abstract

The optimization of production times was developed in the manufacture of metal boxes for electric meters, by taking time and movements of the processes and activities that intervene in the production chain, for its subsequent reengineering, thus achieving the identification of improvement aspects that allowed to reduce manufacturing times of the product through the redistribution of workspaces, unification of processes, records and specification sheets to generate a better production flow, reducing times and movements or routes that did not add value to the process. The results of the implementation of the reengineering of the processes was the expected since it was possible to reduce manufacturing times, with a saving of 7% of the total manufacturing time and in unnecessary displacements it was possible to reduce the 5%, which generates profitability to the manufacture of this product especially when they are lots of considerable quantities.
