Abstract

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de la investigación sobre los factores que inciden en el retiro de los equipos de medición del proceso de pintura, de la empresa colombiana ensambladora de vehículos Renault Sofasa. Empleando métodos como el Kaizen y el Sistema de Aseguramiento Metrológico (SAM), se realiza un diagnóstico para determinar la pérdida económica generada por los sobrecostos ocasionados por los equipos de medición en etapas críticas del proceso productivo. Los resultados obtenidos por medio de esta investigación servirán de base para que la companía desarrolle soluciones pertinentes, utilizando esta información como una herramienta para mitigar los sobrecostos generados en el departamento de producción. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren la importancia de contar con un método adecuado para controlar y mejorar los procesos, no solo en la industria automotriz, sino en todos los sectores económicos que utilicen equipos de medición y que estos se encuentren vinculados con las variables críticas de control y la elaboración de los productos. ****** This article presents the results of the investigation into the factors that affect the removal of the measuring equipment from the painting process of the Colombian company assembling Renault Sofasa vehicles. Using methods such as the Kaizen and the metrological assurance system (SAM), a diagnosis is made to determine the economic loss generated by the overcharges caused by measuring equipment at critical stages of the production process. The results obtained through this research will serve as a basis for the company to develop relevant solutions, using this information as a tool to mitigate the cost overruns generated in the production department. The results obtained suggest the importance of having an adequate method to control and improve the processes, not only in the automotive industry but also in all economic sectors that use measuring equipment and that these are linked to the critical variables of control and the elaboration of the products.
