Estudio de tiempos en el área de dosificado de ingredientes para la Empresa Bioalimentar Cía. Ltda.

Abstract

ABSTRACT In the present Research project, a time study is carried out in the activities and subactivities of the ingredients dosing line in the products in greatest demand for the company

Bioalimentar Cía. Ltda. The study is carried out with the aim of identifying the time spent

on dosing certain products by using a time study in the Industrial Engineering branch. The products with the highest demand are determined through the application of the ABC diagram so that through the study of times, the existing bottleneck can be identified within the dosing process of the products selected in the study. The use of flow charts and process-analysis diagrams of the product are required to better understand the dosing process in general. In addition, the calculation of the standard time and the production capacity for a working day of one to four batches of the selected products is carried out in order to propose an improvement solution that increases the daily production capacity. As a result, the standard dosing time of each of the products from one to four batch of ingredients sent to the line, the production capacity and the identification of the bottleneck are obtained, an improvement solution is also proposed, focusing on attacking the bottleneck establishing ideal time values that reduce dosing time and increase batch production capacity in the products studied. With the results obtained, the idea of reestablishing the times of certain activities and subactivities that make up the ingredient dosing line is proposed as an improvement within the production area of the company Bioalimentar Cía.
