Estudio de puesta en marcha de la empresa panelera el Arenal

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis addressed the start-up of the panela processing company "El Arenal" after a two-year period of inactivity. Studies were conducted at critical points for its reactivation: a survey of the plant design and layout, an operating process diagram, and an analysis of the static capacities of the equipment and the process. For the methodology, qualitative and quantitative information was collected, which was to be obtained through field visits to the processing plant. This information was subsequently used to design the plant design and layout. Likewise, an operating process diagram was developed for all the activities and tasks necessary to produce panela, and finally, an analysis of the plant's production capacity was performed. Subsequently, with the results obtained, the project demonstrates various management tools for craft industries, from which companies with similar conditions can benefit if they seek to optimize their reactivation, without a prior start-up study.
