Abstract

The textile sector is one of the most competitive markets at a global and national level, which is why companies are increasingly aware that they must constantly innovate and eliminate waste, such as preparation times for product changes, adjustments and unscheduled stoppages. This waste in the machines causes an increase in the percentage of defective products and the efficiency of the line is extremely poor, which means that companies are forced to reject orders and as a consequence they are unable to satisfy market demand. This research aims to propose a maintenance management model to increase the efficiency of garment manufacturing in textile companies that are affected by unplanned stops and very long set-up times that reduce processing times. Likewise, the objective of this research is to increase the production efficiency of medium-sized companies in the textile sector, through a model based on TPM and SMED, which belong to the Lean Manufacturing philosophy and will be developed jointly to reduce downtime. unplanned due to failures and breakdowns in the machines and reduce the high preparation times through standardization.
