Abstract

Abstract:Today organizations interact in a globalized and changing world, forcing them to be in constant evolution, such as the company Tiresplus & Purifiers SA, whose business is importing tires and service delivery since 2002. Over the past years they have been raising some reforms that one way or another have affected the operation of the business, such as: reduction of import quotas, contraction of the automotive industry, devaluation of the Colombian peso, unemployment, among others. Because of these variables and the economic crisis affecting the country, the company is forced to look for new ways to revitalize the business and stay in the market in the medium and long term. Therefore, in this study a management model used by large companies such as the Japanese corporation Toyota described; number one in the world. This method is named "Lean" which means "No Waste", and intends to gradually implement from an area of exponential opportunity as the Workshop.
