Mejora de la productividad mediante herramientas de manufactura esbelta en la producción de helados

Abstract

Activities that do not add value to the final product and directly affect the productivity of a company are considered waste, this is due to the lack of control or monitoring methods. Lean Manufacturing is a methodology that focuses on minimizing waste through the tools you have at your disposal, it is based on three steps which are: selection, identification and reduction or elimination. The Ivonndy Ice Cream company, is looking for new techniques that allow it to improve its production processes and manage resources efficiently. The main objective of this project is to propose Lean Manufacturing tools that improve productivity in the single flavor ice cream line, based on the selection of the most indemand product using the ABC methodology, the study of times allowed to determine which processes restrict the productive capacity, the value stream mapping (VSM) was used to identify wastage and finally a proposal was developed with the tools: 5S and standardized work. An implementation guide was developed for the 5S tool and formats for control and monitoring were established, as for the standardized work tool, improvements were evidenced by combining some activities, as for the operations ratio, a significant increase of 16.90% and 24.81% was observed in relation to time and the use of standardized worksheets was proposed, which will help as a guide to the workers
