Optimización de la productividad en la elaboración de puertas forjadas mediante el estudio de métodos y la medición del trabajo en la Industria Vicoalmin de la ciudad de Riobamba

Abstract

The Application of techniques of engineering methods in the production of forged gates in the Vicoalmin industry, made it possible to reduce the production times based on the procces elimination that don¨t generate added value to the product ; the gathering information was through a survey to operators, measurement of time with chronometers , process diagrams and the application of the methodology of the analysis of the added value. The avarge time of production of 1 forged gate was 5,03 working days. The activities that limit the productivity were identified such as: the process of drying paint and the inventory material handling. It was subsequently made a proposal aimed at reducing the times on critical activities mentioned above by applying the methodology VAA (Value- Added Analysis ), giving as a resuelt a production time 1 forged gate of 3,78 days. Comparing the productivity of previous months with the new method, resulted that productivity increased from 8 to 10.64 gates / HH in the 8hour day, generating a profit of 3,89 . It

is concluded that the critical activities

are the drying process and cellar material supply, it is recommended to implement a drying system and the acquisition of software for raw material inventory.
