Production management model to reduce non-fulfillment of orders in Peruvian garment SMEs through 5S, SMED and standardization tools

Abstract

Currently, formal SMEs in the textile sector represent 16.4% of Peru's manufacturing SMEs, in other words, there are approximately 32,137 companies in this sector. The textile industry is the third largest contributor to manufacturing and is intensive in the generation of approximately 400,000 direct jobs. However, one of the main problems that prevents it from competing effectively with other countries in the region is related to nonfulfillment of orders. Also, lack of communication in the organization, inadequate operator training and employee resistance to new changes are the main barriers faced by companies in the sector during lean implementation. This research study will focus on reducing order non-compliance in an SME in the apparel sector using 5s techniques, SMED and standardization. An improvement is expected in relation to the problem, in addition, it is intended to develop a framework of lean practices that will serve companies in the sector. In this way, it contributes to the existing literature.

Production model based on Lean Manufacturing and TPM to increase efficiency in a company in the textile sector

“…At present, the 5S improvement tool is a very widespread improvement proposal and applied in research cases, since it not only optimizes the organization's production, it also reduces the amount of waste and creates an orderly environment in order to reduce waiting and delay times, and non-compliance with orders [11]. Just as the implementation of this tool is a potential means for the elimination of waste, this in turn provides the organization with a more effective workplace, where the handling of tools or materials will be easy to handle and access [24], due to the delimitations assigned by each of the resources that the company presents, this to simplify the work environment. This is how the impact of this tool is reflected in a decrease of 25% and 26% for the number of defective products and unfulfilled orders, respectively [25].…”

“…Del mismo modo, Ref. [26] reveló hallazgos similares en su investigación, destacando un tiempo de montaje inicial de 18.55 minutos que se logró reducir a 8.85 minutos mediante la aplicación del enfoque SMED.…”
