A model to increase efficiency in a manufacturing S&ME in the cardboard sector applying SMED, TPM, 5S and JIDOKA

Abstract

The manufacturing sector in Peru, represented 7.9% of the economic activity and paper and cardboard industries among them, represents 11.3% of the manufacturing activity analyzed until 2018, reason why companies must seek adequate control of their processes, maintain qualitystandards, reduce waste in the time of production and achieve good employment of its machinery. For this reason, based on the analysis of the Real Production Efficiency, 85% worldwide has been achieved and the company under study is below the aforementioned. The main purpose of this researchis to increase the efficiency in the production line of a small manufacturing company in the paper and/or cardboard sector, through the reduction of unproductive times that occur in one of the manufacturing processes and defective products. The contribution is focused on increasing efficiency, profitability and reducing the observed economic impact on the company. Developing the solution to this problem, the tools of the Lean Manufacturing methodology will be taken into account, which are the pillars of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) that are Corrective, Preventive Maintenance and SMED. Additionally, the Jidoka and 5S tools will be used. In that sense, the main reason of this proposal was chosen is to maximize the resources of the paper and/or cardboard sector in this case of study; and that can be improved and become big, recognized and competitive in this field.
