Optimización del Proceso de Ensamble de Rieles y Chasis de Vehículos en la Empresa METALTRONIC S.A. de la Ciudad de Quito.

Abstract

In the present study The Optimization of the Assembly Process of Rails and Chassis was carried out in the Vehicles of the Enterprise Metaltronic S.A. of Quito city to reduce the times and generate the optimization of the used resources. The analysis was carried out through the methods and times of the assembly process development and the identification of the bottle necks, obtaining the rail and chassis assembly. Besides the study real process data have been obtained looking for the production optimization. A proposal with the process diagrams is developed to reach improvements through the use of double entry and triangular tables and the proximity diagram to reach a new distribution of the work places in the right and left sides in the chassis production. Moreover, the process standarization, the organization of resources and the implementation of production lines balancing were other objectives attaining an optimum and productive way of the manufacturing processes. The distribution is set according to the best circulation of the components in the different processes, reducing to a minimum the number of transports and delays. Complementary to this study productivity indexes based in the comparison of the actual production versus the proposal were determined. It is recommended to apply the present study with which it will be possible to attain similar times in the operation cycles, a good work environment and higher productivity generating a higher profitability for the enterprise Metaltronic S.A.
