Optimización del proceso de producción con herramientas lean manufacturing de lámparas inti en la sección pintura para la empresa Ecuamatriz Cía. Ltda. de la ciudad de Ambato

Abstract

The present research project aimed to optimize the production process of Inti fluorescent lamps in the painting section through the Lean Manufacturing tools for the ECUAMATRIZ CIA. LTDA Company, from the City of Ambato, it was carried out an analysis of the present situation of the herein mentioned company and the revision of historic data. Esbelta Manufacturing tools were used such as VSM, Pareto, Ishikawa, and assessment 5S, it was implemented based on the 5M; being the first of it, work method, standardized methods the painting section processes through work instructions; raw material control; machine control (TPM); labor control and measurement. The results indicate that once the Lean Manufacturing tools were applied, the current Lead time showed a value of 1,91 hours, in which thread times are reduced to 1,87 hours, minimizing approximately 2,09 percent; thus, the current takt time was 20,52 minutes, reducing to 19,8 minutes, representing a 3,50 percent reduction in the estimate per production cycle; besides, the actual VSM is 1,71 hours was reduced to 1,65 hours. In the initial 5s assessment, it was 33 percent accelerated satisfaction to 65 percent. The KPI performance indicators demonstrate the process of improving Lean Manufacturing in production, the documentation of the production process was implemented in the painting section of the Inti lamp using work instructions, which includes the aspects to optimize the painting process, it suggests the importance of implementing all Lean Manufacturing instruments as they are postulated as key instruments for the production system.
