Metodología para incrementar la productividad en un proceso de producción en una empresa textil mediante 5S y Standard Work

At present, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are a fundamental component of business development in Latin America, due to the large share of these companies in the national GDP. Despite the fact that SMEs in the textile sector have grown exponentially by taking advantage of opportunities, most of them currently have low productivity. This problem arises due to the lack of knowledge and mastery of tools that help, to a greater extent, to optimize processes, reduce time, and achieve competitive objectives. To overcome these deficiencies, the main objective of the following research is to include the standardization of processes to satisfy the continuous flow in the sector based on an improvement model using 5S and Standard Work in a textile company. The proposed model aims to structure the current processes and create an optimal process, facilitating an increase in productivity.
