Abstract

Currently, what every organization seeks is to be more competitive and productive in the market, optimizing resources and thus standardizing processes. In any manual or semi-automated production process, waste or what is known as “MUDA” can occur and therefore this event significantly affects the optimal performance in any organization, for example, when there is a production line downtime between one work area and another because a piece must wait a certain period of time to be assembled, or when an organization has a large amount of inventory in storage stock, the transport of an operator or tool to perform the activities of an area from work to another, overproduction that generates wear on both machines and operators, etc. Consider the implementation of the Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma and Industry 4.0 concepts to improve productivity and performance in any process, it is very helpful, since using these can lead to the root cause of the problem that is affecting the process, and thus make decisions that help eliminate variation in the process, achieving a good organizational culture and continuous improvement.
