Abstract

ABSTRACT Planning systems are joint systems that determine the appropriate means to achieve objectives set by an organization and that are being implemented in companies, such as the planning of the work capacity that establishes the exact number of workers necessary to carry out a certain activity and ensures that the worker is not overloaded or exceeds the leisure time during his working day. As a preamble to the investigation, the current situation of the company is known through direct observation in technical field visits, then a time study is carried out in the packing process which indicates the bag processing capacity for each line, referring to four of the products processed by Bioalimentar Cía. Ltda., considered the most representative by planning department. Finally, the proposed model establishes the operation of the packaging lines with three workers on lines one and four, four workers on line three and five workers on line two, and thus respond to the projected demand for the year 2020, as well as the relocation of workers in the labelling activity increasing the time spent for packing bags by 10 percent.
