Proposal to increase efficiency in the pizza production line in Peruvian MYPE using Lean Manufacturing tools and IoT

Abstract

Despite representing a significant percentage of economic growth, the food sector in Peru faces numerous challenges. Companies in this sector confront issues such as low efficiency in their production lines, high delay times, poorly maintained work areas, and high machinery downtime. This article explores solutions using Lean Manufacturing tools such as work study, 5S, Poka Yoke, and TPM with an IoT approach. Additionally, a pilot program will be implemented using the 8-step change management model to assess and quantify improvements in order to established performance parameters. By analyzing a company struggling with efficiency, it evaluates how Lean Manufacturing tools can enhance workflow and competitiveness. The aim of this research is to implement Lean Manufacturing tools to enhance the efficiency of a food sector company. To achieve this, key objectives must be considered, including optimizing workflow through process standardization and reducing machinery downtime through TPM - Planned Maintenance to improve efficiency by 3.58%. It is expected that the final outcome exceeds this percentage and that it improves over time, as the tools employed have the potential to further boost the company’s efficiency.
