Abstract

This investigation was a case of study in the powder detergent packaging line and aimed to reduce all those wastes that do not add value to the product, increasing the cost of production. Reducing or eliminating waste within the manufacturing industry becomes necessary for sustainable businesses over time and keeps generating development. To achieve it, the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC methodology was implemented in a detergent powder packaging line, to identify the problems that afflicted and made production more expensive. By using quality tools (such as Pareto and Ishikawa diagrams, 5S application, Poka-Yokes, SMED, training personnel, and standardizing processes) it was possible to reduce unproductive times. Energy consumption was reduced by up to 20 %, also efficiency and machine availability increased by 10.98 % and 7.32 %, respectively. The general performance of the line increased by 15.16 %, which translates into significant monthly savings of USD 71 442.05. By applying these improvement techniques, the most significant efficiency was registered in 1 kg packages, going from 47 % to 89 %, approximately. To maintain this productivity and even to perfect it, it is necessary to hire specialized personnel who know the production processes and industrial operations.

用精益六西格玛 DMAIC 方法改进粉末洗涤剂包装生产线

这项调查是对粉末洗涤剂包装生产线的一个研究案例，旨在减少所有那些不会增加产品价值、增加生产成本的废物。随着时间的推移，减少或消除制造业内的浪费已成为企业可持续发展的必要条件，并将不断产生新的发展。为了实现这一目标，我们在一条洗衣粉包装生产线上实施了精益六西格玛 DMAIC 方法，以找出影响生产并增加生产成本的问题。通过使用质量工具（如帕累托图和石川图、5S 应用、Poka-Yokes、SMED、人员培训和标准化流程），减少了非生产时间。能耗降低了 20%，效率和机器利用率也分别提高了 10.98% 和 7.32%。生产线的总体性能提高了 15.16%，每月可节省 71 442.05 美元。通过采用这些改进技术，1 公斤包装的效率显著提高，大约从 47% 提高到 89%。为了保持甚至提高生产效率，有必要聘用熟悉生产流程和工业操作的专业人员。
