Abstract

This research focuses on the application of the primary tools in industrial engineering with regards to companies and sectors within a country. This analysis focuses on small and medium enterprises in the footwear sector. Small companies currently form a nucleus in the world economy, and thus, research sources include companies in the footwear sector in Lima, Perú. With the aim of continuous improvement, the objective of this research is to implement and control the processes used by the sector through Lean methodology with the following indicators: optimization of the effective time of operators by 13%, production increment by 20%, and finally reduction in reprocessing by 63%. The impact on work is based on changes in machines, stations, functions, tools, and workshop designs to increase productivity in the footwear industry by 23.62%. Therefore, applying operations as tools is essential to effectively analyze and control production.
