Determinación de la capacidad de producción de una planta procesadora de pavos, en el área del despresado, mediante la evaluación de los tiempos estándares de proceso

Abstract

The present study seeks to determine the production capacity of a poultry processing plant in the area of turkey slicing, by evaluating the standard times of the process of turkey slicing. With the calculated usual times, with the demand for sales and the cost of direct labor, a mathematical model based on linear programming guidelines was constructed to determine the person-hours required per group of activities of the turkey slicing process. To calculate the tolerances, a qualification was used based on the recommendations of the ILO and for the additional times of the process, the terms of the activities carried out by industrial safety. Then a matrix was assembled where on the horizontal axis the products were placed and on the vertical axis the group of activities, at the intersection the elementary standard times of the grouped operating elements were added. The model was assembled on an Excel sheet with the help of What's Best! software. Using the solver, the person-hours required for each group of activities were calculated and allowed to predict the number of person-hours needed.
