Implementación de herramientas de lean manufacturing para la optimización de los procesos electrolíticos de la empresa ABS Cromosol Ltda.

Abstract

Nowadays, it is a reality that in a globalized world like this, all companies need to look for the tools and methodologies that they create and help to be more and more competitive, so as not to fall into obsolescence. Arango, Adarme and Zapata (2010): The modern globalized environment changed the traditional actors of business rivalry, moving from a competition between individual organizations to a supply chain company, integrated by multiple production companies, manufacturers, distributors or marketers that guarantee the flow of product to the final consumer. This is why it is proposed in this application work, an area of activity that is sensitive to major changes in companies, such as production area, is a field of the company that it can undoubtedly be addressed with improvements, optimizations, techniques , Innovations, etc. To better understanding this concept, it is defined as a production system receives inputs in the form of materials, personnel, capital, services and information and transformation within a subsystem of conversion in the products and / or services reacquired (Tejeda, 2011). Thus, as it is crucial to understand what methodologies the company requires in order to obtain the highest levels of efficiency and efficiency, and to increase its productivity levels, in short, it affects the most sensitive in its production process to be a Competent organization facing the world today, according to Balestrini et al., (2002) In the context of globalization and competitiveness in which the world economy is immersed, it is necessary to carry out a strategic analysis of the productive process in the industrial sector, in order to be in tune with the new requirements, and thus avoid becoming out of step with the competitive forces of the market According to the above, what the present work proposes is the implementation of Lean Manufacturing methodology, in order to obtain opportunities to improve, to avoid waste, to increase efficiency and in few words, to increase the productivity levels of the processes Mipyme ABS Cromosol Ltda., Company dedicated to the treatment and coating of metals, more specifically, in the processes of chrome plating and nickel plating, specializing in the coating of parts of automotive vehicles and in general in all kinds of objects that comply with the Specifications To be able to be subjected to these processes. To implement this implementation, we seek to be supported by tools such as time engineering, methods, maintenance aircraft, and different analyzes that help reduce or eliminate reprocessing, excess inventory, defects, among others. Over time, this methodology has taken on more force and has been implemented in different types of organizations and productive systems because as shown by Tejeda (2011): Lean Manufacturing is an integrated socio-technological process improvement system, whose main objective is to eliminate activities that do not add value to the customer. Eliminating the quality increases with the times and the costs of production decrease in a very short time. In short, this tool greatly analyzes, study and improve interventions for the productive area of the micro enterprise, giving the added value to the processes and improving the working conditions for the operators involved in this.
