Mejora de la productividad del área de tintorería de la empresa Textil San Pedro S.A. mediante la implementación de herramientas de Lean Manufacturing

Abstract

Abstract: This project aims to implement Lean Manufacturing tools to improve productivity in the dyeing area of the company Textil San Pedro S.A. By diagnosing the company's current situation, existing waste in the area and the causes of low productivity were identified. After the corresponding analysis and study of Lean Manufacturing tools, it was determined that implementing 5S is the best option to achieve the set objectives. Once the implementation of Sort, set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain was completed, productivity was improved as the waste causing variability in the process cycle was eliminated. Finally, it is concluded that applying the 5S methodology in the dyeing area enhances productivity through the reduction of waste and unnecessary movements. Maintaining the 5S implementation is the company's primary challenge, as it is essential to ensure continuous improvement and sustainable operational performance in the long term.
