Description
Summary:This article presents the results of the investigation into the factors that affect the removal of the measuring equipment from the painting process of the Colombian company assembling Renault Sofasa vehicles. Using methods such as the Kaizen and the metrological assurance system (SAM), a diagnosis is made to determine the economic loss generated by the overcharges caused by measuring equipment at critical stages of the production process. The results obtained through this research will serve as a basis for the company to develop relevant solutions, using this information as a tool to mitigate the cost overruns generated in the production department. The results obtained suggest the importance of having an adequate method to control and improve the processes, not only in the automotive industry but also in all economic sectors that use measuring equipment and that these are linked to the critical variables of control and the elaboration of the products.
