Diseño de una distribución de instalaciones para una nueva planta de producción de la empresa Kipa Amaranto

Abstract

The objective of the research is to present a proposal for the design and physical distribution of the facilities in the Kipa amaranto company, in order to improve the productivity of the plant, eliminating unnecessary distances and optimizing the available space. For the development of the project it was divided into three fundamental stages. In the first, information was collected on the current conditions of the production process and facilities. In the second stage, the production plant was sized, determining the resources necessary for the production process. Finally, the SLP facility distribution methodology was used, through which a proposal for the new plant was designed. The distribution proposal was validated through the analysis of the production indicators obtained in the simulation with the Flexsim software, for the products with the highest demand from the 3 production lines. It was shown that this proposal generates a 37.24% reduction in the distance traveled, increasing production capacity by 76.44%, equivalent to an average of 48 lots compared to 109 lots per month. These data obtained through the simulation indicate that the proposal offers important benefits in the organization's production, showing an average improvement of 51.59% when evaluating the productive indicators.
