Abstract

The demand for footwear in Peru has increasedsignificantly in recent years even though domestic productionhas decreased, on the other hand, it has been shown that importshave grown substantially. This shows that the domestic sectorhas difficulties in offering good quality products, which isdirectly related to low productivity and lack of innovation. Inthis sense, an integral Lean-SLP model is proposed based on thecombination of tools such as total redesign of facilities, 5s,process standardization, work design, and Jidoka to improve thecurrent productivity of 0.56 generated by deficient and nonstandardizedprocesses. The model was validated through arenasoftware where a cycle time reduction of 42.95% and aproductivity increase of 22.5% were obtained. This proposalallows SMEs in the footwear sector to be more competitive in theforeign market by producing shoes of higher quality andtherefore better acceptance.
