Proyecto de optimización del proceso productivo en la fabricación de muebles en la empresa AMBIC

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to study the production process of furniture manufactured by the company AMBIC, this brand is a subsidiary of the company Ambientes Cerámicos Ltda, it is a company originally from Boyacá that has more than 20 years of experience in the region, this is created from the rural and urban growth of the region, where the need of the Boyacá population was born to acquire materials derived from the construction, this because the region did not have a distribution center, the company was growing significantly with the opening of sales rooms throughout the city of Tunja and major cities in the department and its surroundings, as vision of the General Manager bet him to create more trade and employment generation with the best alternatives in products such as: floors, walls in Ceramic, porcelain tiles, laminated wood, faucets, bathroom fixtures, sinks, mosaics, borders, wines, dishwashers, etc.

This is how in 2018 the company sees the opportunity to venture into a new market, where it decides to create its own brand dedicated to the production of bathroom and kitchen furniture, as well as an area dedicated to the production of ceramic glue and porcelain, thus giving rise to the AMBIC brand.

AMBIC is the brand identity that the organization Ambientes Cerámicos has for its subsidiary of products made by the company itself, this brand specializes in design, manufacture and custom installation of architectural furniture, offers functional designs with high quality standards, providing its customers comfort, safety and confidence with each of the products they manufacture.

This is why this project is focused on conducting a comprehensive analysis of the different factors that make up the furniture production area, which seeks to design and implement an improvement plan in the different operations, by conducting a time study, as well as an initiative to restructure the production plant.

Through these methods, we seek to analyze and diagnose the production area. For this, the existing deficiencies are identified and once detected, we proceed to propose to the company a set of actions oriented to optimize its processes and strengthen its organizational structure. All this with the purpose of increasing its efficiency and competitiveness in the market.

The focus of this research is to identify the possible shortcomings that are occurring in the manufacture of furniture and devise practical and assertive solutions, so as to develop an improvement of each of the processes involved in the manufacture of the product, through different methodologies and the application of knowledge in industrial engineering.
