Evaluación de estrategias para la mejora del proceso productivo de snacks para mascotas

Abstract

Abstract: This graduation work evaluates strategies to optimize the pet snack dehydration process, identifying that transitioning from a single-equipment system to a dual system increases real performance from 70% to 80% through the strategic reduction of scheduled and unscheduled downtime. Through a capacity and cost analysis, it is demonstrated that this technological improvement facilitates a restructuring of human capital, reducing the labor requirement from three workers to just one. This shifts individual productivity by 242% and generates a net operating saving of $3,000 in the first semester. In conclusion, the implementation of redundancy in the dehydrators not only increases semi-annual production by 14.2% to meet demand peaks but also guarantees the financial sustainability of the business by reducing total operating costs by 40%.
