Implementación de herramientas Lean Manufacturing en el área de postcosecha de la empresa Floricola Nevado Roses de la ciudad de Salcedo para el mejoramiento productivo

Abstract

ABSTRACT The main objective of this research work wasto analyze the production system and the productive improvement of the flowering company Nevado Roses by implementing lean manufacturing tools such as: VSM (process analysis), 9'S (order and cleaning of work areas), MAQ (self-quality matrix), TPM (preventive maintenance plans). The initial situation of the company was analyzed before the development of the work to know what state it was in. Through the use of the above tools, the process diagram was developed, as well as the plans of the post-box area in order to make the corresponding route diagram the VSM of the initial situation of the production process was obtained a lead time of 133.34 min, and an AVA of 68.88%, an initial audit of order and cleaning of 45.71% was obtained, subsequently. Finally an improved VSM was designed and the order and cleanliness of jobs was significantly improved through the implementation of 9S, within the company there is no record of maintenance of the machinery, so a TPM was developed in order to avoid unwanted shutdowns. Reducing the initial lead time value is achieved by applying lean manufacturing tools:9'S, auto quality matrix, and TPM. This resulted in a lead time of 116.71 min, meaning a reduction of 16.63 min and an AVA of 75.3%, improving it by 6.42%., in terms of productive improvement it increased from 1.5 stems/min with the initial process, to 1.71 stems/min and finally the cost per stem was reduced from a value of $0.41/stem, to $0.378/stem. Regular inspections by a person familiar with lean manufacturing tools are recommended to control possible future failures.
