Resumen

The current research presents an improvement model focused on increasing operational efficiency in an automotive company specializing in the assembly of small vehicles. The analysis indicates that the main reasons for inefficiency are machine downtime, uncoordinated material delivery, and high time variability between different stations. To solve these problems, Kanban, MRP, and TPM tools were incorporated, in addition to an Internet of Things (IoT) system for real-time tracking of key equipment. The proposal was approved through performance metrics, demonstrating an increase in operational efficiency from 71% to 80%, in addition to a 35% decrease in overtime use and associated costs. Therefore, the proposed model optimizes material transit, increases equipment availability, and strengthens production scheduling, which favors the company's sustainability and competitiveness in the Peruvian automotive industry.
