Resumen

Against a backdrop of projected growth in the construction market and a decline in domestic brick production in Peru, the company faces pressure to optimise its production processes. The effective implementation of humidity controls and improvements in the drying process was considered crucial to minimise the environmental impact of operations and ensure a more sustainable use of natural resources. This work aims to propose the application of precise technological controls to manage humidity and optimise the drying process in the Toro S.A.C. brick company, not only that, but also to reduce the effect on the environment and support the preservation of natural resources. Tools such as: Direct visual observation, graphic representation of the process, time recording, detailed process analysis, Ishikawa cause and effect diagram were used, which made it possible to identify problems, evaluate, investigate the causes, apply improvements and subsequently evaluate their effectiveness. After the implementation of these controls, the results showed a significant improvement in the optimisation and quality of brick manufacturing production. Variability in the amount of moisture and wastage due to brick deformation were reduced, contributing to the company's competitive efficiency and long-term sustainable viability in the market.
