El objetivo del estudio es desarrollar una metodología de mejora para un proceso de producción de arneses automotrices mediante la implementación de un sistema de monitoreo electrónico por código de barras, que permita obtener la trazabilidad de los productos procesados e identificar el origen, o causa raíz de los problemas de calidad. La metodología consta de un diagnóstico previo del área, el desarrollo y pruebas del programa, la implementación del sistema dentro del área, así como la capacitación del personal involucrado. Se encontraron los principales defectos del área de inyección de espuma, y con ayuda del sistema de trazabilidad se logró identificar las causas raíz de los mismos, por lo que se tomaron acciones específicas. Después de tres meses de implementación se redujo en 15% el porcentaje del principal defecto encontrado.
The purpose of this research is to develop a methodology for improving a wiring harness production process that allows for tracing the products that are processed in a specific area - in this case in a foam injection operation - by implementing a bar-coded electronic monitoring system. The steps involved in this methodology are as follows: a prior analysis of the area; development of a traceability program; implementation of the system and, finally, evaluation of the results. Thanks to the information obtained through the new traceability system, the main defects in the area were identified and specific actions were taken to minimize their recurrence, achieving a 23% reduction of defects after one month of trials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
