Abstract

Este estudio se realizó de julio a noviembre de 2011 y tiene por objetivo identificar soluciones mediante procedimientos científicos a problemas de producción, presentados en una empresa dedicada a la fabricación de suelas para calzado, ubicada en León Guanajuato, México, mediante el diagnóstico y uso de algunas técnicas de ingeniería de métodos, estándares, diseno y simplificación del trabajo. Se utilizaron el diagrama de Ishikawa (Ishikawa, 1997) y el gráfico de Pareto (Niebel y Freivalds, 2004) para determinar y analizar las posibles causas generadoras de efectos negativos en la producción. Posteriormente, se obtuvieron los datos de entrada utilizando diagramas de operación y de flujo; como siguiente paso, se procedió a balancear las líneas de producción y ajustar las cargas de trabajo. Los principales resultados del este estudio son el balanceo de líneas y el ajuste de cargas de trabajo, derivados de un estudio de tiempos y movimientos para incrementar la productividad de la empresa mediante la implementación de cambios en los métodos de trabajo; otro resultado fue la eliminación de movimientos innecesarios mediante un estudio de movimientos, incrementando la productividad al 56% en una estación de trabajo. Se concluye que al implementar y dar mantenimiento a esta propuesta se mejorara la productividad de la empresa en cuestión. ****** The objective of this case study is to identify solutions to problems through scientific procedures presented in a production company focused on the manufacture of shoe soles, located in Leon Guanajuato, Mexico, through the diagnosis and use of some of the engineering techniques methods, standards, job design and work simplification. The Ishikawa diagram and Pareto chart were used to identify and analyze the possible root causes of negative effects affecting the company production. Subsequently, the necessary data were obtained for this study using flow and operation diagrams. In the next stage, production lines were balanced and workloads were adjusted. The main results of this study were to be able to identify specific solutions to increase business productivity by implementing some changes in the working methods and the use of appropriate tools. An increase of 56% was achieved in productivity in a workstation. Therefore, it is concluded that with proper implementation and monitoring of this proposal, productivity and efficiency in this footwear company can be improved.
