Improvement in the manufacture of nests for assembly lines

Abstract

The present work is presented as a result of the analysis carried out by the students when carrying out the development of a project for the improvement of a company, which is documented in a practical case of a leading company in the global toy market whose purpose is optimize various processes, reduce costs, increase flexibility and quality in its manufacturing, at the same time declares the commitment to innovation and sustainability, proposes strategies in its assembly lines to minimize waste, reducing costs in the acquisition of materials through implementation of 3D printers for the manufacture of nests on assembly lines, which offers significant advantages from a materials management perspective, in addition to promoting sustainable practices by reducing both the waste generated and the carbon footprint.

A key aspect is the ability to customize nests for different geometries and specifications, which is essential for innovation and continuous improvement in product development. This strengthens the company's competitive position by allowing rapid adaptation to market demands, improving operational efficiency in addition to cost reduction.
