Propuesta de mejoramiento de los procesos de la cadena de valor por medio de herramientas Lean Manufacturing en la empresa RJ SAS

Abstract

The main objective of this project has been the application of the tools of the Lean Manufacturing philosophy to the value chain of RJ S.A.S, a company in the meat sector, in order to design a series of proposals focused on the elimination of molts. These series of proposals were made to increase the productivity of the company so that in this way it can aspire to a better position in the current market. For the development of this objective, a methodology consisting of 4 phases was proposed. The first one focused on the formation of a support group, which provided the information under which it worked. Phase two identified which activities caused a decrease in productivity, these were analyzed to get to the root cause of each of them. The third phase lists the activities, previously analyzed, together with the lean technique or tool that could best solve the waste caused by them. Finally, the fourth phase took into consideration the financial factor, relating the costs of the project and its profitability. The content of the results obtained has been divided into three large groups: A. Application of the Lean methodology for the identification of waste: First, the different actors that intervene in the production process have been analyzed through the Lean tools Manufacturing VSM, process standardization and dump questionnaire. B. Application of lean techniques for the solution of waste: Once the seedlings causing the low productivity were identified, the techniques that were assigned to the processes: Stuffing, Homogenization and Cooking, were SMED, POKA YOKE and TPM, respectively. C. Analysis of the profitability of the project: Finally, a cash flow was presented where the income and costs were considered once the different improvement proposals had been implemented, this with the aim of analyzing the profitability of the project.
