Implementation of DMAIC Methodology in a production line of the brewing industry

This proposal was made in a company dedicated to producing beer. The study focuses on the MEGB production line, which lacks continuous flow, presents line stoppages, operators' leisure time and unnecessary routes. The situation was analyzed using the DMAIC methodology on the line in order to determine adequate balancing at each workstation and achieve a continuous flow free of waiting times. Applying the DMAIC methodology is a benefit for companies by reducing process variation. The statistical method was used to calculate the necessary samples with a confidence level of 95%. Likewise, some of the tools used are PQ analysis, spaghetti diagram, operations graph, operator load graph, line balancing and finally a control plan was made.

Abstract

This proposal was made in a company dedicated to producing beer. The study focuses on the MEGB production line, which lacks continuous flow, presents line stoppages, operators' leisure time and unnecessary routes. The situation was analyzed using the DMAIC methodology on the line in order to determine adequate balancing at each workstation and achieve a continuous flow free of waiting times. Applying the DMAIC methodology is a benefit for companies by reducing process variation. The statistical method was used to calculate the necessary samples with a confidence level of 95%. Likewise, some of the tools used are PQ analysis, spaghetti diagram, operations graph, operator load graph, line balancing and finally a control plan was made.
