Mejora de la distribución en planta (Layout) en una empresa del sector agroalimentario : mejorar la distribución en planta en la empresa egroalimentaria "La Industria Harinera S.A.", utilizando la metodología systematicLayout en su línea de producción de galletería delipan.

Abstract

This case study was carried out in ""La Industria Harinera S.A"", specifically in the Delipan biscuit production line, with the aim of improving the layout design of the agri-food plant, using the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) methodology, together with the FlexSim tool. The four phases of the SLP methodology were executed to propose distribution alternatives: starting with the localization stage, where the forecasted demand for the year 2024 was analyzed and the distributions to be followed by each product family were defined; Subsequently, the relationships between the workplaces were studied in order to efficiently organize the spaces and resources of the general distribution. Then, three alternatives were evaluated among the estimated options for the improvement design, with the detailed distribution phase, seeking to optimize times, distances, material flows and costs. Finally, only one theoretical proposal was selected in the installation stage, known as theoretical, because it will not be implemented in the company, which is how alternative Z stood out, for meeting the optimization requirements and demonstrating a reduction in the three axes of sustainability, which are the social, environmental, and economic part, through the use of triple bottom line metrics. This systematic approach made it possible to identify significant improvements in the efficiency and sustainability of the agri-food plant, strengthening its competitiveness in the market.
