Resumen

This research work determined the impact of the application of Lean Manufacturing tools on the productivity of a poultry processing company; It is worth mentioning that the results are part of a Degree Thesis. The design is pre-experimental, where a reliable questionnaire (Cronbach's Alpha of 0.794) was applied to 10 employees of the production process. Also, it was taken as data collection instruments: an interview guide, a questionnaire and a document collection sheet. The structure of the model was divided into 4 fundamental stages: Diagnosis of the company, Application of Lean Manufacturing tools, Evaluation of the proposal and Economic analysis. It is concluded that the application has a positive impact of 5% (initial V.: 0.89-final V.: 0.94) on the average productivity of the organization. Likewise, with the diagnosis, the multiple root causes that caused low productivity were determined, being 80%: lack of staff training, process failures and lack of standardized procedures. Finally, the economic impact of the application generated a recovered amount of S/485, 514, a return period of 0.32 years and at the end of the second year an amount of S/70, 323.75 would be obtained.
