“…At the end of the development of the proposal, it was possible to increase productivity by 12% and efficiency by 7% [25] Similarly, the fusion of 5S, JIT, TPM and VSM has shown that during the first five years of application, it increased efficiency by 16% in the sewing area. Based on this result, the authors explain that this is due to the fact that before the application of these tools, barriers must be considered, such as: lack of commitment from top management, outdated Lean methodologies, among others [26] Through the development of VSM and Kanban in a plastics manufacturing company, it was demonstrated that this combination helped to increase daily production by 40% [27].…”

The textile industry in Peru is one of the most representative in terms of its contribution to GDP; however, in the last 10 years the industry has suffered a 1.5% annual drop in its share of GDP. This is due to the fact that the sector suffers from a series of deficiencies such as low productive efficiency, which is 70.2%. Faced with this problem, some authors opted for the application of some tools such as SMED, SW and 5s to counteract it. But according to the literature review, there is a lack of knowledge of the application of the mentioned tools in textile SMEs, since SMED and 5s are mostly applied in large companies, while SW has little history of applicability despite being a powerful tool that achieves positive changes in production. Therefore, in order to provide a solution to the problem studied, it is necessary to apply the aforementioned tools. This article proposes an improvement model that aims to increase the efficiency of a textile SME through the applicability of tools such as 5S, SMED and SW. The effectiveness of the model was validated with the use of the simulation developed in arena software, obtaining as main result that the efficiency of the sewing area in the textile SME increased from 64.71% to 80%. This leads to the conclusion that the proposal manages to improve the company's productivity, which allows it to generate higher income by making efficient use of its resources.Digital Object Identifier: (only for full papers, inserted by LACCEI).
