    Medición de la capacidad de la empresa manufacturera para analizar sus procesos desde la falla
    (2013-11-18) Pérez-Rave, Jorge Iván; Patiño-Rodríguez, Carmen Elena
    A heuristic model is proposed to determine the capacity of the manufacturing companies to analyze their processes from the failure. For its development, thirty companies, located in the Aburrá Valley (Antioquia, Colombia), were analyzed through descriptive transverse study. The model is a function of 16 items about collecting, documenting, and updating of information relating to possible failure events. For validation are selected two methods: first, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (0.85) approach; second, the comparison between answer categories (low, medium, and high) and description of five industrial features: age, utilization of SGC ISO 9000, employee turnover, failure records, and competitive interests. This study shows that 57 % of enterprises studied were classified as high capacity, 26 % as medium capacity and 17 % as low capacity. SMEs show disadvantages. With this model can be identified mature companies in the field and others that deserve support to analyze and respond with data and facts to the elimination of the root causes of their problems.

    Mejoramiento productivo aplicando herramientas de manufactura esbelta
    (2014-05-13) Pedraza, L. M. (Lina María)
    Lean manufacturing is a way of process management that allows companies to adapt easily the changing conditions of the globalized world. The application is different in each company and depends on the conditions that each company is facing, that’s why there’s no “recipe” that you can follow straight, the methodology adapted to each company helps to eliminate waste through the efficient use of several tools. In this project it is shown a proposal of the lean manufacturing implementation in the platen and bars of copper production line. The methodology used is focused in a diagnostic of a production line through the development of the current value stream mapping. In this way it is analyzed the implementation of the lean manufacturing tools which help to eliminate or decrease existent waste in all the line and reduce delivery time improve the quality level and finally reducing costs.
