Abstract:

This research was developed to evaluate the eight wastes in a brewing industry located in the city of Ensenada, where they were presented each daily period, worrying supervisory, specialized and managerial personnel. This process was developed by applying continuous improvement to increase productivity and quality indexes, and thus obtain a reduction in costs. To carry out the application of continuous improvement, the supply chain and inventories had to be reduced, which was a problematic situation that was constantly presented, as well as an analysis to create robust systems and raw material delivery in the required times and in the right places. Another relevant factor evaluated was the improvement of the plant distribution, where processes were presented where long periods of time were generated between each industrial operation carried out. Once these new processes were developed, productivity and quality indices greater than 75% were obtained, and economic gains were generated, where previously they were a maximum of 50%, which generated economic losses. The investigation was made from 2019 to 2020.
