Propuesta de mejoramiento al sistema de producción de café mediante herramientas de lean Manufacturing en la finca “La Secreta”

Abstract

The objective of the project is to identify the processes that do not generate value in coffee production by analyzing and optimizing the production systems in order to improve and obtain benefits for the La Secreta farm located in Rovira, Tolima. These improvement processes are carried out using some Lean Manufacturing tools that allow identifying shortcomings, weaknesses and eliminating them from production, seeking continuous improvement of the mill's production process. Taking into account that in the production of the La Secreta farm there are processes that are not viable for the coffee grower, an exhaustive analysis must be carried out, in order to be able to determine which tool to implement in each process that generates a delay in both production and in product quality. Thus determining the possible solutions that systematically generate an increase in net profits in each of the coffee growers. In the place where the research was carried out, it was possible to obtain the expected scopes regarding the reduction of downtime and other operations that influenced not being able to be within a continuous improvement not only of the production process of the mill but also of quality and price of the product at the time it is marketed.
