    This research work was carried out in the tannery "La Península", a company dedicated to the production of leather for footwear and clothing, with the aim of solving problems present in their production processes. Under an exhaustive initial analysis, several problems were identified, defining the most frequent and main ones in order to solve them and alleviate the critical areas of the process. A proposal was made to implement continuous improvement methodologies in the company in order to increase the company's productivity levels. For this investigation, improvement proposals were executed where the 5S methodology was implemented in all production areas, removing or transferring unnecessary elements from each area, thus recovering 22.9 m^2, reducing 4.71% of the time spent searching for tools, in addition, cleaning procedures were defined, cutting 25.78 minutes of cleaning time per week. With regard to the application of the SMED tool, the changeover time on the router was reduced from 10:25 minutes to 6:47 minutes and on the press machine it was reduced from 10:41 minutes to 7:47 minutes. After applying the two methodologies, an improvement in the leather manufacturing processes is observed, fulfilling the objective of increasing productivity levels.
