Estudio de tiempos y movimientos para mejorar la productividad de la empresa ALUMINIOS Y VIDRIOS ESTRUCTURALES S.A.S.

Abstract

ALUMINIOS Y VIDRIOS ESTRUCTURALES S.A.S. is a company dedicated to the metalworking sector in the city of Bogotá Colombia, some of the company's products are architectural hardware for the construction of steel and aluminum structures. This company currently has a low productivity rate and due to the arrival of other international markets that offer the same product at a lower price, it has ceased to be competitive. The purpose of this research project is to select one of its most affected products, which is called the sliding system for bathroom partitions, and to determine how the study of times and movements and the design and redistribution of the plant in production activities help us to improve the productivity of the production processes for the manufacture of said product. Through engineering tools, it is possible to determine methods, times, and movements that are used in the manufacturing process of the final product, in addition, critical activities are identified and a proposal is made for the modification of the manufacturing process, in the implementation of additional machinery and in the design and redistribution of the plant, thus allowing a reduction in manufacturing times and costs for transfers in relation to the load between nodes.
