Once all the necessary information was obtained, we worked on the implementation of Lean Manufacturing tools such as 5S and TPM, Poka Yokes, Jidoka, Cellular Manufacturing in order to have greater control of production in each of the processes, a good distribution of the plant, reducing unnecessary times, movements and waiting, obtaining good quality products based on the principles of Total Quality.
