Confecciones Infantiles Lennys company is dedicated to the production of clothing for children between 0 and 12 years old, and its plant is in the city of Bucaramanga, from there they distribute their products to their local and national. For the development of the project, a methodology divided into 3 stages was proposed. In the first, a general diagnosis of the company was made based on the INTI methodology, through which the first shortcomings were identified for each of the company's areas; The results obtained were taken as the basis for the second stage of the project in which the Value Stream Mapping map (VSM) was built, which resulted in a more detailed analysis of the times by processes and information flow. Through this procedure, opportunities for improvement or Kaizen bursts were evidenced for which an action plan framed by Lean Manufacturing tools was proposed; Finally, in the third stage, the proposed tools were implemented and the results obtained by each of them were analyzed. In addition, a satisfaction survey was carried out with the head of the company Lennys Quintero to find out her opinion and acceptance of the process carried out in the company.
