Abstract

This work focuses on solving the problem of high production times in textile SMEs, with the aim of analyzing this problem and reducing the impact generated, by designing a model for optimizing production times, which consists of in 2 phases focused on the production process and personnel, using Lean tools and plant distribution. The model will be applied in a Peruvian SME textile company in its quilt and sheet production process. As a result of the implementation, a reduction in production time of 23.13% of the current time was obtained in the case of quilts. Likewise, in sheets the standard time was reduced by 52.48%. In the same way, the productivity of the operator was improved, increasing by 54.31% in the case of quilts and 53.37% in sheets.
