Propuesta de mejora de calidad para la reducción del porcentaje de producto no conforme en línea domestica calibre 18, en el proceso de inmersión de una planta de producción de guantes de látex.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to design a quality improvement proposal for the process of immersion of the 18-gauge domestic line in a latex glove production plant, whose company name cannot be disclosed by confidentiality clauses. The initiative to design a quality improvement proposal is based on the percentage of nonconforming product generated during the last four years (2015-2018), obtaining 2.14% of waste. This trend increases with the passing of days and it is necessary to apply the different engineering tools, such as five S (5´s), KAIZEN-cycle PHVA, AMEF (Analysis of mode and effects of failures), which allow the process productive to be oriented and focused on satisfying the customer, with products of excellent quality, with timely deliveries and in the shortest time and cost possible. The development of this research, part of the mutual agreement between the company and the author of the investigation, in order to reduce the percentage of non-compliant product; starting with the background of the problem, the identification of the possible failures by which the percentage of non-compliant product has increased considerably, until the design of a proposal for quality improvement.
