Abstract

In Perú, 90% of companies that employ 50 workers or less have an average life span of only 10 months in the market. This statistic is closely linked to informality and low productivity issues in such companies. Moreover, in March 2020, manufacturing production plummeted to 32.2% owing to low productivity levels exhibited by some companies. Therefore, to improve this situation, a production management method is required to enhance production management at metalworking MSMEs. This research work is based on the design and application of a production method based on lean manufacturing tools and agile methodologies to improve production process performance and meet market demands. Results revealed that manufacturing times reduced to 14.5 min, productivity increased by 30%, and the level of unfulfilled orders reduced by 30%.
