Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to increase the productivity of a Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise (SME) in the bakery sector in the San Juan de Lurigancho-Lima district in the bread-making process. What is proposed in this research is the use of the Japanese 5S tool and its different complementary tools for each phase. The implementation of this approach aims to improve the business by providing stability in execution through waste elimination. This implementation study of the 5S method helps organizations establish order and a roadmap to follow in the path of Lean thinking. On the other hand, the proposed improvement will follow the four phases of the PDCA cycle or Deming cycle. All steps for the execution of the Japanese 5S tool in the production area of Thomas Bakery will be planned, using process recognition matrices such as SIPOC, flowcharts, DOP, DR, etc. Finally, this applied study will serve as an example for SMEs that identify the absence of 5S in their work environment and want to increase their productivity.
