Abstract

It seeks to improve the fabric cutting process of cotton garment exporting mypes by identifying and eliminating waste, defined as processes or activities that do not add value, specifically in the cutting area of a textile company. In addition, this improvement will occur under the application of the Lean Manufacturing philosophy through the tools of VSM, SMED and standardization of work, which is supported by data analysis, economic validation and simulation through the use of historical data from the company under study. Likewise, through the study carried out, it was possible to reduce reprocessing by default from 13.12% to 4.23%, delayed processes have been reduced from 18.49 to 9.61% and the productivity index of the cutting area increased from 0.38 to 1.16.
