El sistema ANDON, como herramienta fundamental para disminuir el tiempo de respuesta y eliminar los defectos en línea de panel

Abstract

Time is considered a fundamental element in any type of industry, which is why it is necessary to improve it, companies that cannot improve their processes through the reduction of waiting times or downtime, problems of serious damage to their operation daily. The company under study presents serious problems in the panel line, for example, laminated sheets, poor cutting, spillage of coating, paper tear, for the operation of this line there is an available time of 48 hours, it is important note that only 71% of the time is productive. The objective of this study is to implement an ANDON system, through the identification of problems that affect production, in order to reduce response times on the Panel Line. ANDON is a visual and auditory communication system used in the industry that allows workers to interact in a simple way to solve problems that arise during the workday when they occur (Vera, 2018). This project contributes to the continuous improvement of the panel line, as well as a change in the work philosophy of the operators.
