Abstract

In the development of this project, a study is carried out in the steelworks of the Grupo Siderúrgico Reyna company, located in Sogamoso Boyacá, the study is directed to the area of casting ladles, and focuses its attention on the yields of the ladles, methods used, Currently, travel times, in addition to the different factors that in one way or another worsen the proper functioning of the casting ladles. The main purpose of the project is to generate a proposal for improvement, with which it is expected to obtain, in the long term, favorable results for the area of casting ladles, increasing the productivity of the company. The project is divided into 4 main phases, the initial phase called diagnosis, is the phase where process information is collected. To collect this information, tools such as questionnaires, observation tools, flowcharts and cause-effect diagrams are used. Its application allowed to have a clearer idea of the current state of the process and from there the implementation of the second phase begins, where measurement and control tools are applied such as time studies, DOFA matrix, time registration sheets, indicators and conversion diagrams, in addition, the taking of temperatures of the casting ladles in different phases of the production process is carried out. Based on the information collected during the first phases, the improvement proposal is made for the different shortcomings found. Finally, the verification of the proposed activities and the benefits that they will bring when applying them to the studied process will be carried out.
