Abstract

Competitiveness in the metalworking industry relies heavily on the ability to optimize production processes and efficiently manage available resources. Inefficiencies in the organization of materials, tools, and workspaces disrupt operational flow, drive up production costs, lower productivity, and heighten industrial safety risks. To address this, a continuous improvement plan is proposed to strengthen production area management by applying methodologies widely used in production engineering. Integrating tools such as the 5S methodology, plant layout redesign, visual management, and lean manufacturing principles creates favorable conditions for streamlining processes, optimizing the physical distribution of resources, and reducing non-value-added activities. These measures help improve material flow, minimize unproductive time, and enhance the quality of finished products. Furthermore, adopting continuous improvement practices fosters procedural standardization and staff commitment to an organizational culture centered on efficiency and operational excellence. Consequently, this proposal offers a comprehensive strategy to boost competitiveness, optimize production performance, and ensure more efficient resource utilization within the company
