Abstract

This project have fist to carry out a times and motions study in the warehouse area of the unpacking process of the production line of the GREAT WALL WINGLE 7 model in the company Ciudad del Auto CIAUTO Cía, and other goal is to increase efficiency through the implementation 5S methodology. This method includes the five steps: Seiri (sort), Seiton (set in order), Seisi (shine), Seiketsu (standardize), and Shitsuke (sustain), to achieve the optimization of production times and improve the workspace. Firstly, technical visits to the company are planned for data collection, then the general description of the company is developed, as well as the selection of the truck model for the study through an ABC Pareto analysis, obtaining the Wingle 7 Diesel 4x4 truck; additionally the situational diagnosis activities of the unpacking process is even detailed through the determination of three criteria: high, medium and low that are considered in the process. The applied methodology in the study of times and movements begins with the return to zero, which consists on taking the times directly for each activity, with the help of the measuring instrument which is the stopwatch, in addition, the number of cycles was determined according to General Electric criteria for each one of them. In this way, the calculation of the work pace, constant and variable supplements according to the International Labor Organization (ILO) are made in order to finish with the calculation of the standard time. Finally, the unnecessary movements were identified through the thread diagram to propose the 5S action plan that has as objective improve the work space and delete the useless movements.
