Mejora de la Productividad del proceso de Sorema en la Empresa Enkador S.A., a través de la Implementación de la Metodología de Desarrollo de Proveedores

Abstract

Enkador S.A.‘s process of Sorema does not meet the 80% target performance factor of the raw material or the productivity of the part thereof. To improve this condition, the supplier Neumann and Ribeiro (2012), development methodology was implemented. With which the current diagnostic process was performed, where it was determined that the raw material is out of the specifications of impurity and density. From this point, they identified as a requirement, the improvement of the raw material selection, classification, and pressed PET bottles. For which conveyor belts for manual selection and presses were purchased and were implemented at the collection centers in: Esmeraldas and Quito, which had the maximum opportunity for improvement. Later, process information was collected and the improvements were implemented. The obtained results are: a 12.5% reduction of impurity, and an increase of 152 (kg / m³) density for loose PET bottles. In the process this lead to the performance factor of the raw material to pass from 75% to 83%. Based on the exposed source, it is concluded that 8% of the raw material partial productivity increased.
