Abstract

The objective of this research work was to propose improvement actions for the production process in the "La Gran Familia" furniture factory in the city of Portoviejo. The fulfillment of the objectives was oriented to the study of the current situation of the factory, being able to analyze the production history, the manufacturing times, and the current prospectus in terms of tools, material and human resources, equipment and machinery. Based on the aforementioned analysis, the aspects and/or events that adversely impact the company's activities in terms of production and productivity are determined. All the limitations were correlated through a cause-effect diagram, considering a holistic view in relation to the current situation of the factory. Based on the limitations found, an improvement plan was made. The corrective actions were based on the same 5'S methodology that meets the aforementioned requirements, adding significant value to work activities, based on the culture of quality. Being the points taken were: classification, order, cleanliness, standardization and discipline. The proposal arises from the need to solve the problems found in the diagnosis, thus helping to improve the infrastructure, adaptation of spaces, placement of signage, among others, with the purpose of achieving greater productivity.
