IMPROVEMENT IN THE PRODUCTION PROCESSES OF POLYMERIC INSULATORS THROUGH LEAN MANUFACTURING IN A PERUVIAN COMPANY

Abstract
Abstract - This project is carried out in a company dedicated to the manufacturing and commercialization of electrical equipment, specifically equipment for the transmission and distribution sector of electrical energy. A diagnosis of the electrical insulator production line was conducted, identifying poor space utilization, disorder, and high waiting times, which directly impacted productivity rates and manufacturing times.The primary goal of the project was to implement lean manufacturing tools to eliminate waste and reduce production lead times. Two lean manufacturing techniques, Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and the 5S methodology, were used to address these challenges. The results were subjected to rigorous analysis and demonstrated a significant improvement in space utilization and a substantial reduction in production lead times of 13.26%.
