Improvement model in the overall equipment effectiveness in a lubricant packaging line applying lean manufacturing

The present study focuses on enhancing the productivity of a lubricant manufacturing company, specifically within the packaging line for one-liter bottles, in order to meet growing demand and prevent customer value loss. To achieve this, a Lean Manufacturing-based approach is implemented. The first section outlines the current context of the case study, the main challenges faced by the sector, and an overview of common improvement practices. The second section provides a detailed analysis of the key factors affecting profitability and identifies the root causes of inefficiency within the company. The third section reviews recent literature on Lean tools, strategies, and technological advancements, highlighting successful industrial applications. The fourth section presents the proposed model, describing its structure and how it addresses the identified problems. The fifth section validates the model through stochastic analysis and system simulation. Finally, the discussion and conclusions summarize the main findings, managerial implications, and recommendations for future improvement initiatives.
