Estandarización del proceso de producción de vidrio de seguridad templado para reposición automotriz mediante la metodología lean manufacturing en la empresa FVTemperlite

Abstract

The company FVTemperlite had no defined schedules for each production process and the lack of training of operators, which generates time lost and, therefore, low efficiency in the production system, hence, the objective of this research was to standardize the production process of tempered safety glass for automotive replacement through the Lean Manufacturing methodology in the company FVTemperlite. The methodology applied had an analytical and deductive approach to analyze the tendency causes among the variables that determine the variability in production; the study population was the number of glass units manufactured, being fundamental the application of a bibliographic research based on scientific journals, books, of documentary research through the data collected in the company, a descriptive research, detailing each glass manufacturing process and a field research to obtain the necessary data and information through the methods and techniques, including observation and the time timing of each work station. By means of the methodology it was determined that the company currently does not have a standardization system, the operators do not have enough training for the different processes, in addition, in relation to the location of each workstation, it was identified that employees travel long distances with the material, generating downtime and an increase in inventories of processes. In this context, it is concluded the relevance of the methodology in combination with the inferential statistics for a better monitoring and control of the process operation, that is how an improvement proposal is suggested considering the flow of materials and unnecessary movements to reduce the time and distance between the stages of the process that produces an increase in the production of the company.
