Diseño de un modelo de planificación de la producción en la industria metalmecánica. Caso de estudio: empresa PROCESADORA VYM S.A.

Abstract

The general objective of this research work is to design a production planning model for the metal-mechanic industry, a case study of Procesadora VYM S.A., an Ecuadorian company with more than 30 years of experience in the production of parts and pieces for the white goods sector. This study focuses on the production process of the BPH oven door hinge, a product that presents the highest percentage of sales and production volume in relation to the other types of products manufactured in the company. The production management system was evaluated and characterized the process in its current state, through graphic, analytical and descriptive tools, resulting in the parameters and initial conditions for the design of the Production Planning System. Initially, the strategic plan of the organization is analyzed to determine the guidelines with which the production planning will be developed, the sales plan established by the marketing department shows the turnover target for the oven door hinge product BPH and with which the aggregate production plan is made together with the demand forecasts, calculated by means of a quantitative method of time series. The master production plan is based on the aggregate production plan, which determines the exact quantities of the different types of BPH hinges to be manufactured on a weekly basis. The master production plan allows the MRP material requirement plan to be drawn up, which allows the inventory of materials and components for the BPH hinge to be efficiently managed. The production planning system will allow the optimal management of resources used in the production processes of the company, to meet the requirements and needs of internal and external customers in a profitable way for the organization.
