Análisis y propuesta de mejora en el proceso de producción de yogur griego de una empresa peruana mediante herramientas Lean (5S)

The purpose of this investigation was to apply the Lean 5S methodology to the Greek yoghurt production process of a Peruvian microenterprise with the aim of analyzing and propose improvements in order to promote a culture of continuous improvement. The methodology comprises the 5 stages of sort, set in order, shine, standardize and sustain. Several engineering tools were applied to this end, such as a process operations diagram, route diagram, time study, VSM and Load/Distance Matrix. The research achieved a reduction in production time, with indicators such as a 40 % reduction in the load-distance matrix, a 36,8 % reduction in travel time, a 64,4 % reduction in preparation time and an improved lead time by 21,52 %. In addition, productivity saw an increase of 65,94 % as well as 15 % higher production efficacy.El propósito de la investigación se centró en la aplicación de la metodología Lean 5S en el proceso de manufactura de yogur griego de una empresa peruana, a fin de poder analizar y proponer una cultura de mejora continua. Esta metodología está compuesta por cinco fases: clasificar, organizar, limpiar, estandarizar y mantener. Se aplicaron diversas herramientas de ingeniería, tales como diagrama de operaciones del proceso, diagrama de recorrido, estudio de tiempos, VSM, matriz carga-distancia. La investigación dio como resultados una disminución de tiempos de producción con indicadores como reducción del 40 % en la matriz carga-distancia, reducción de tiempo de recorrido de 36,8 %, reducción de tiempo de preparación en un 64,4 % y un lead time mejorado en un 21,52 %. Además, la productividad mejoró en 65,94 %, con una mayor eficacia de producción en 15 %

The reference site collaborative network of the european innovation partnership on active and healthy ageing

Seventy four Reference Sites of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) have been recognised by the European Commission in 2016 for their commitment to excellence in investing and scaling up innovative solutions for active and healthy ageing. The Reference Site Collaborative Network (RSCN) brings together the EIP on AHA Reference Sites awarded by the European Commission, and Candidate Reference Sites into a single forum. The overarching goals are to promote cooperation, share and transfer good practice and solutions in the development and scaling up of health and care strategies, policies and service delivery models, while at the same time supporting the action groups in their work. The RSCN aspires to be recognized by the EU Commission as the principal forum and authority representing all EIP on AHA Reference Sites. The RSCN will contribute to achieve the goals of the EIP on AHA by improving health and care outcomes for citizens across Europe, and the development of sustainable economic growth and the creation of jobs
