Análisis y propuesta de mejora de procesos productivos para la curtiembre "comercializadora de cueros Darío Torres"

Abstract

This thesis work indicates the main problems that the production processes of the tannery “Comercializadora de cueros Darío Torres” have, a company dedicated to the transformation of cowhide into tanned leather. Where improvements are suggested through the use of industrial engineering tools, such as plant redesign and the use of quality control tools. It begins with the characterization and analysis of the production processes, where a diagnosis of the current situation of the tannery is given. The main problems of the process and their impact on the organization are disclosed. Based on the data of the areas, machinery, equipment and tools available, a way is designed in which these elements can interact effectively, through principles of distribution in the plant. In this way, two redistribution proposals are presented with their respective analysis.

Taking into account the main problems exposed during the analysis of the current tannery process, four quality tools were suggested (5´S, Autonomous Maintenance, Verification Sheet and Histogram), where the problem is described and justification is given as to why it was used of each one.
