Diagnóstico e Implementación de Diagramas de Proceso para el Mejoramiento de la Productividad en la Planta de Lácteos 6 de Enero.

Abstract

In the dairy plant “ Seis de Enero”, located in the pre parish Las Mercedes in the province of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Process Diagrams were implemented in order to reduce unnecessary time and optimize physical resources and human talent to increase productivity; Physical-Chemical analyses for raw milk and yogurt were carried out, taking into account serial samples before and 30 days respectively after, times were taken from the reception of milk to packaging of yogurt before and after the proposal implementation. On physic- chemical analysis of yogurt, and improvement in the acidity present values 0.666 and 1.019% respectively. The time in the processes were significantly reduced in the following stages: in the incubate 61.6 min, cooled 790.8 min, resulting in a reduction of time in the whole process of 908.6 minutes; productivity increased from 61.43 liters / day per laborer to 71.43 liters / day. It is recommended to use the Process Diagrams, maintain a constant training and broadcast the results to obtain significant savings in processing times, lower cost of production and therefore it rising economic profitability and improving productivity.
