Resumen

The main objective of this research was to determine the impact of the proposed improvement of the mining cycle on the productivity of a mining company in the La Libertad Region during 2020. The study was carried out considering the protocols established in the Covid-19 pandemic. In the first section, the problems of this industrial sector were highlighted, as well as the causes that led to low productivity in the mining cycle of the company. In the second section, the research methodology was reflected and engineering tools such as time study, management indicators system, and COLPA were applied. In the third section, the results obtained after the proposal of the engineering tools were shown, these results were positive for the company since a benefit was obtained/cost of S/136.54, which generated an economic saving for the company of S/1 694 591. In addition, productivity in the mining cycle increased from 0.172 Ozs. Au/worker-day to 0.250 Ozs. Au/worker-day. Finally, the results obtained were compared, showing that the improvement proposal increased productivity in the mining company. The contributions in this study will serve for future research related to these variables and the industrial sector.
