Optimización del proceso de producción para la línea de goteo inter 161 de AGRIFIM DE COLOMBIA SAS

Abstract

Industrial process optimization, especially in production systems, is essential to ensure efficiency, quality, and business competitiveness. In this context, this project is developed at AGRIFIM DE COLOMBIA S.A.S, where the Interline-161 drip line is one of the company’s most important and high-demand products in the national market. However, several issues have been identified, including variability in production parameters, lack of process standardization, and excessive dependence on operator experience, all of which affect process stability and final product quality. Therefore, this project aims to optimize the production process by integrating and standardizing extrusion and injection operations in order to improve productivity, reduce material losses, and minimize downtime. The proposal is based on continuous improvement methodologies, quality control tools, and key performance indicators (KPIs), with the goal of strengthening the company’s production capacity and providing a reference model for other companies in the plastic manufacturing sector.
