    Sistema de gestión por procesos sostenible en el área de producción en la empresa Milplast Cia. Ltda.

    This research work was carried out at Milplast Cia. Ltda., a company dedicated to the production of shoe soles that faced problems affecting its productivity, such as non-standardized processes, inefficient management of information and inventories, and non-optimized production times. The lack of mixing recipes and machine configuration parameters caused quality variability and downtime, and inadequate waste management and performance indicators hindered continuous improvement. The objective was to develop a process management model to improve Milplast's productivity, integrating circular economy principles. An ABC stratification of products was carried out to identify the most relevant products, the documentation of the main processes (milling, fine-tuning, injection, packaging), the creation of detailed sheets for each process. A time study was also carried out and waste was characterized for final disposal. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to obtain a comprehensive understanding. Interviews and observations were conducted to document the processes, and data analysis was performed to understand the company's performance. In addition, a literature review on process management, field research with visits and on-floor observation of the process were conducted. The results were consolidated into a process manual with clear objectives, precise definitions and detailed flow charts. Improvements such as the implementation of a Kardex system, recipe standardization and machine configuration were proposed, which could increase production by 5% and facilitate Milplast's sustainable growth.
