Gestion y diseño de un manual para la instalación de un laboratorio de control de calidad en una planta de producción de empaques plásticos a partir de Polietileno y Polipropileno.

Abstract

In the following project, a technical and operational feasibility study was carried out to allow the installation of a quality control laboratory in the company INDUSTRIAS PLASTICAS PROBOLSAS S.A.S, which has its production plant located in the city of Cúcuta, Norte de Santander. This company provides products in its market line, among which plastic films and doy pack plastic packaging stand out, these meet the demands of protection, transport and storage, however, to position itself favorably and establish itself as a leading company, high quality products are required. quality and performance. This context motivates the application of an area of chemical engineering, which is quality control, where the curricular dependencies are mainly focused on optimizing production processes; comply with customer demands and establish precedents to be accredited with certification and quality standards such as ISO 9001. The characterization and processing of polymers such as low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) requires tests that control the quality of the products, in these tests intensive properties of the material are evaluated that are oriented to the capacities of the material to resist efforts, loads and temperatures. To install a quality control laboratory, this manual contains the data collection with descriptive studies, the characterization of the production plant from the infrastructure to its possible expansion, the description of the production processes through statistical methods, the parameters and conditions of operation found in the literature and in the current production process, the physical and personnel resources found in the general diagnosis of the plant, the respective formats to keep records throughout the production process and the development of an information management strategy , in the end it is concluded that with this document the company can make the decision to install a quality control laboratory which allows the company to increase its profits and project itself on new markets.
