Propuesta de innovación del sistema de gestión y productividad del taller de mecánica industrial Eli s , en la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The general objective of this research was to develop an innovation proposal through the use of advanced process modeling and simulation tools to improve the operational efficiency and production quality of the industrial mechanics workshop 'Eli's', which is part of the Molinos y Tostadas factory in Loja. Methodologically supported by a mixed research approach, involving both qualitative and quantitative dimensions, and characterized as non-experimental and bibliographic, a survey was conducted among the workers in the design and modeling area to validate the innovative prototype. Initially, the current state of the mechanical design and modeling process at the 'Eli s' workshop was diagnosed, identifying the main technical, organizational, and operational limitations affecting efficiency and production quality. Subsequently, advanced digital modeling and simulation tools were selected such as BIM and FlexSim based on their suitability to the workshop s capabilities and needs, prioritizing technical and economic applicability and sustainability. Finally, a proposal was designed to improve the mechanical design and modeling management system, integrating standardized processes, technological tools, and operational best practices to optimize production times, reduce errors, and increase the workshop s competitiveness within the local productive environment. The results demonstrated that the project is viable and profitable in the short term. Key.
