Diseño de la planta de producción orientado a la eficiencia operativa en la empresa de confección Aiditex

Abstract

The research focuses on the optimization of the production plant of AIDITEX, an underwear manufacturing company, aimed at improving operational efficiency and productivity through area reorganization, modular line balancing, and manufacturing cells. A diagnosis of the organizational structure, ABC product analysis, time and motion studies, analytical cursograms, and flow diagrams is conducted to identify bottlenecks, unnecessary movements, and inefficient distribution of machinery and operators. As an improvement proposal, the SLP method and Guerchet method are applied to design layout alternatives with cellular distribution, prioritizing functional proximity, operation sequence, and optimal resource allocation, complemented by strategies for resource organization, process standardization, and reduction of non-productive times. The results demonstrate reduced travel distances, improved material flow, and decreased non-productive times, increasing the efficiency and competitiveness of the company. This study combines field methods, statistical analysis, and industrial planning tools, providing a replicable model that integrates systematic planning and manufacturing cells, offering an innovative and practical solution to optimize production processes in similarly sized textile companies.
