Abstract

The research article is based on the development of an improvement proposal for the construction machinery production company “MIVIRN” to minimize costs and increase its production capacity through the introduction of methods for identifying restrictions and planning production that achieve a positive impact on the productive improvement of the company. The project focused on the identification of restrictions in the concrete mixer and elevator production processes, a compilation of historical data was carried out and based on this, future demand was projected, standard and takt times were evaluated and determined. time later, the production centers were paid for through process costing and direct costing and with these data, the system restrictions were established applying the methodology proposed by Goldratt to exploit the restriction that prevents achieving a better productive performance using the line balance as a tool. process for which the required calculations were automated through “Excel” and its “Solver” tool. The methodology developed allowed the elaboration of a proposal that allowed the elimination of the restrictive process and with it reduced the productive costs in 5.46% for the concrete mixer and 9.38% for the concrete elevator, additionally increased the productive capacity of concrete elevators in a 125%, demonstrating that the methodology of optimization and production improvement with application of the theory of restrictions (TOC) is capable of significantly influencing the reduction of costs and increase of the productive capacity of the company.
