Resumen

The objective of the research was to determine the influence of Lean Manufacturing tools on the productivity of a frozen avocado (Persea americana) export company. The study was pre-experimental, and the sample consisted of productivity indicators before and after the implementation of Lean Manufacturing tools. The following tools were applied: 5S, Value Stream Mapping, and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). The results showed that the influence of Lean tools was favorable, increasing productivity by 11.1% (185.8 MT), validated using the t-Student test (p = 0.0001).
