Resumen

La optimización de procesos industriales es una estrategia que fortalece la productividad, calidad y eficiencia operativa en las organizaciones manufactureras. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el impacto de la aplicación integrada de las herramientas Lean, PDCA y DMAIC en la reducción de ineficiencias operativas y la estabilización de procesos productivos. Se analizaron comparativamente dos intervenciones aplicadas en empresas del sector manufacturero. La investigación fue con enfoque cuantitativo-descriptivo y alcance comparativo. Se emplearon técnicas como observación directa, estudio de tiempos, análisis de causa raíz, diagrama de Pareto e indicadores de desempeño. En el primer caso, el tiempo promedio de carga de información técnica se redujo de 2.5 a 1 hora diaria. En el segundo caso la estandarización del proceso de atornillado redujo los ensambles rechazados del 14.8% al 3.2% y disminuyó el tiempo de ciclo en 19.1%. Al integrar herramientas como Lean, PDCA y DMAIC se estabilizan y fortalecen los procesos productivos logrando operaciones más eficientes, estables, sostenibles y competitivas.
