Resumen

This article performs the diagnosis of the mineral consolidation process using the Value Stream Mapping (VSM), improvement opportunities were determined and then using Lean Manufacturing tools, significant improvements were achieved in the process, increasing productivity and improving the work environment. The tools that we have used after the VSM diagnosis are 5’S (Seire, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitzuke) and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), which give us favorable results of 36.73% reduction in reprocessing work and 33.3% reduction in cycle time in shipment, respectively.
