Application of method engineering tools to improve the productivity of the production system in the Textil Andes company
This paper on pre-experimental design proposes the application of
methods engineering tools, focused on improving the productivity of the Textil
Andes company dedicated to the manufacture of ethnic ribbons. By identifying
deficiencies and bottlenecks, through the use of the operation process chart and
routing diagram, the aim was to reduce the distances and times used, in fact, the
processes are unique in the region, therefore it was decided to calculate their
standard time which was 250.25 min, and that by implementing a new distribu-
tion and working methods it managed to reduce the standard time by 11.65% and
the distances used by the product process flow by 49.51%; consequently, a less
production time per batch added to the management of a periodic preventive
maintenance format, generated a significant decrease in defective units; in other
words, the number of good units produced, measured by efficacy, increased by
11.59%. Likewise, the reduction in idle time caused an increase from 89.07 to
94.28% in efficiency, thus achieving an improvement in productivity of 14.77%
