Estudio de tiempos y movimientos para la mejora continua de la productividad de la línea de producción de fibras de material reciclado en la microempresa Waipes Doña Blanca.

Abstract

The purpose of this research project is to design a study of times and movements to contribute to the identification of the activities that generate bottlenecks and downtime in the production line, thus allowing improvements to be proposed that increase efficiency and reduce production costs in the Waipes Doña Blanca company, taking into account that the Waipes Doña Blanca microenterprise faces difficulties in its production that affect its productivity and competitiveness. These problems are intensified by the lack of control and standardization in its processes from the beginning of its operations. The methodology used was qualitative, because information was collected through documentary sources and at the same time an interview was conducted with the person in charge of the microenterprise. In the results, inefficiencies and bottlenecks could be identified, allowing us to understand the areas for improvement. and establish a starting point for future productivity optimizations. Concluding that the implementation of the proposal helped to improve the productivity indicators since they were based on the time study with the application of the 5S audit, resulting in a significant change for the microenterprise.
