Estudio de tiempos y movimientos para la línea de producción de la empresa de lácteos “Monte Verde”

Abstract

The present research work was carried out in the dairy company "Monte Verde". in the production process of Milan 1 L whole milk, the same one that does not have tools that allow diagnosing the present problems and improving the production processes. A study of times and movements was carried out in order to standardize them. to improve the production line. The current situation of the company is known through direct observation techniques, unstructured interviews with the process staff. From the initial situation, an ABC analysis is performed with the aim of knowing the product in greatest demand; obtaining as a result the Milan whole milk of 1 L. I use analytical cursograms, tables and Microsoft Office tools to organize the information. For the time taking, continuous timing was used, the performance factor was determined and supplements for the calculation of the standard time. The bottleneck and the absence of standardized times were identified. Finally, through the balancing of lines. the standard times of each subprocess were balanced and the activities that do not add value were suppressed and /or combined. obtaining an improvement in the times of 2.66%, the number of workstations is reduced from four to three, considering the same number of operators and increasing the production capacity in 2 batches/ daily. Obtaining an efficiency of 84.76% in the proposed method. The same one that the simulation was performed in the FlexSim software.
