Resumen

This research addresses the challenge of increasing equipment efficiency in a PVC pellet extrusion line. By implementing continuous improvement tools and methodologies, such as SMED, Poka- Yoke, and Planned Maintenance, in combination with IoT and Big Data technologies, yield was increased, defects were minimized, and equipment availability was increased. The implementation of IoT and Big Data enabled greater process visibility and control, facilitating decision-making based on real-time data. The results demonstrated a significant increase in equipment efficiency to 85%. The findings of this research highlighted the importance of integrating continuous improvement tools and emerging technologies to strengthen industrial process optimization and increase business competitiveness. This approach can be replicated in other industrial sectors with similar processes, contributing to improved efficiency and productivity.
