Mejoramiento de la productividad de capelladas sublimadas en la empresa TEIMSA S.A. con la implementación de Value stream map, Kanban como herramientas Lean Manufacturing.

Abstract

The objective of this degree work is to improve the production of sublimated shoe patches in the company TEIMSA S.A. with the implementation of Value Stream Mapping (VSM), Kanban as the Lean Manufacturing tool. To accomplish this objective, the following procedure was appplied: first, to evaluate the current situation of the production of sublimated shoe patches througth the Value Stream Mapping; secon, to do an improved Value Stream Mapping with the purpose of eliminating the detected lean waste; third, to apply Kanban in the production line; fourth, to evaluate the achieved improvement. Techniques of methods and time engineering were employed such as: process diagrams; diagnostic lean manufacturing tools: VSM; operating lean manufacturing tools: productions Kanban cards (yellow, green, withe, pink and red); monitoring lean manufacturing tools: visual management; and CAD tools, such as the Solidworks software to do the VSM. After implementing the improvement situations, the following results were obtained: lead time of 1.3 days; value added time equals to 1.2 days; non-value added equals to 1 hour; percentage of the non-compliant product of 0.7%. In conclusión, througth the elimination of lean waste, the lead time was reduced 3.2 days, the value added time 2.8 days, the non-value added 3.22 hours, and the non-compliant product 7%. Finally, it is recommended the application of a frequent control mechanism in the production line, wich aims to identify and measure the different causes that generate the waste and provides information about the improvement needs that must be made.
