Abstract

The chamber of commerce of the city of Cali is convinced that, if companies grow, regions grow and that if growth is profitable and sustainable, more prosperous regions are achieved for all; for current and future generations. This organization has the purpose of challenging and accompanying companies to grow, to compete successfully in a global economy, for this reason at the end of 2019 the company inverpack s.a.s participates in a project of the chamber and commerce for the improvement of productivity in the printing area. The proposal to reduce Setup times in the karint printing machine of the Inverpack S.A.S company through the use of the smed methodology, arises from this project, due to the fact that frequent delays are identified in the setups of the machine, generating downtime, which in turn decrease the production capacity of the company. Reducing machine setup times and reducing unproductive times are key to manufacturing a wide variety of products, reducing product delivery times and increasing flexibility to respond to customer demand. This proposal seeks to study in detail the activities that are carried out in the setup or batch change of the karint machine, identify the causes that generate the unproductive times of the machine, using the Ishikawa diagram, then propose improvements for the reduction and elimination of these times and finally present the Standardization of the mechanical change process in the reference change of the printing area.
