Estudio de optimización para la linea de producción de tomacorrientes en empresas de ensambles eléctricos en la ciudad de Bogotá

Abstract

This document is a compilation of the steps to follow for product certification, and the tests and trials that must be applied when manufacturing low voltage electrical outlets, taking into account the Technical Regulations for Electrical Installations (RETIE). The process and documentation required by companies in the electrical assembly sector for this particular product are described. Although these companies manage a wide portfolio and many other processes in their production plants, from the order reception part, design analysis, diagram production, manufacturing of labels and characteristic plates, this document is based on assurance and traceability within compliance with the standard and quality standards reflected in the current certificates, applicable either to the assembled product or to the manufacture of one of the components of the outlet. It is common for electrical parts companies to carry out the assemblies in their facilities while the parts are manufactured by maquilas or companies specialized in the manufacture of one of the components. There are different tests that can be performed both on the fireproof material from which the outlet is made, as well as on the already assembled outlet, which are useful for each company in particular, depending on how it applies to the link in the production process it is in. This text also highlights the most relevant criteria for certifying a product in the electrical sector, showing in a concise manner the documents, tests and trials by the company when it comes to having a quality certificate from a Colombian certifying body. This work is a contribution to medium-sized companies that want to be competitive and raise the quality standards of their products, showing a guide to follow with a view to preparing their certification process.
