Estudio de tiempos y movimientos para la mejora en los procesos de producción de camisas en la empresa I.D.TEX

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out in the company I.D.TEX, which needs to standardize the production processes in the manufacture of shirts, due to the fact that its activities are carried out empirically, which is why there are several problems such as: bottlenecks, unnecessary movements, and long transportation distances; for this reason, with the standardization of the production processes we sought to improve the level of competitiveness of the company. First of all, it was necessary to carry out a diagnosis of the processes that make up the shirt production line, being necessary to know the product with the highest demand using the ABC methodology; therefore, in the flow chart and in the analytical diagram, the entire production process of executive style shirts can be observed in a global manner, after which the times and movements were determined to find the standard time of each of the activities that make up the production line of the product with the highest demand, as well as the calculation of the production capacity, with the purpose of proposing improvements.

The results obtained made it possible to know the current condition of the company I.D.TEX, and for the improvement proposal, a procedures manual was established that will be useful for future employees.
