Abstract

The purpose of this research work was improve the productivity of the company Calzado KF Barona, developing a study of times and movements in the process of manufacturing men's casual footwear. Through this study, time wastes and excessive transports have been identified due to a bad distribution of the production process and that is why a plant redistribution proposal has been made using the SLP methodology in order to establish a chain production that benefits the company by improving its productivity. Therefore, it is important to highlight the steps for the development of the research, which begins with the collection of information of the company and the current production processes within it, using tools such as flowcharts and flowcharts to recognize the activities that are performed in each area; it continues with the taking of times and movements of these activities within each area, identifying the bottleneck and excessive travel times that harm the company. From this, a plant redistribution is proposed through the SLP methodology that reduces these time wastes, organizing correctly the work areas and allowing a better flow of material. Reducing in more than 70% the transports, optimizing the processes, achieving an increase of the production in 88 pairs per month and raising the production capacity in 8.4%, which reflects the improvement of the productivity allowing gains of $880 per month in monetary values.
