Propuesta Minimización de desperdicios mediante la metodología lean Manufacturing en los procesos de hornos y producto terminado en la planta Cerámica Italia de Cúcuta, Norte de Santander.

Abstract

With this project it is intended to contribute to the improvement of product quality through tests in the raw materials laboratory, it is possible to know in what conditions the paste begins its process of transformation into a tablet and with this information to be able to overcome the different defects that appear in the tiles when they have already been finished, which delays the delivery process, generates much more expenses in reprocessing processes of that fired break that only a small part is reused and the rest is discarded, which also produces contamination. Through the method of observation and analysis of the data obtained from the defects that were shown to be presenting in the September product finished in the month of August, and October, Pareto diagrams were made for each format that was in production and one consolidated per month, where I highlight the cause of the lateral crack, which can be caused by shocks in the course of the lines, by low resistance or by strong temperature changes in the furnaces. This test study is carried out in order to show that it is essential to correct the causes of the defects in the first production processes and not wait for the product to be cooked and become broken, thus guaranteeing the highest production of quality products. First quality to satisfy customers and reduce claims for product quality.
