Modelo de planificación de la producción y capacidad para la fabricación de cuero en la empresa Promepell S.A.

Abstract

Promepell S.A., is facing production delays due to inadequate planning in its operational activities, resulting in the postponement of deliveries. The project aims to develop a model for production and capacity planning for the leather manufacturing processes in the footwear and upholstery production lines, enabling the company to fulfill customer orders according to established delivery dates. The methodology applied involved using Excel software for various calculations. Additionally, a time study was conducted as a basis for subsequent calculations, considering the products that the company primarily manufactures based on leather type and demand. A capacity analysis was also performed, focusing on necessary resources and demand forecasts. This analysis identified the bottleneck process that restricts production. A master production schedule was developed, indicating the required weekly production, and an approximate capacity plan was created to identify potential underloads or overloads in the processes, considering the available resources to meet future orders. With the production and capacity planning model, the company can determine daily production quantities, the processes to be carried out at each work center, the production hours, and the number of workers required for each process. This ensures better productivity through effective management and scheduling.
