Abstract

In a world in which there is greater competition on a daily basis in the air handler market, manufacturing time has become a determining factor to remain competitive in the market, this is because for the manufacture of standard units Today, an estimated manufacturing time of 28 weeks is used, which is taken as a goal in the operational field and also a vital indicator in the aspect of response capacity and competitiveness in the industry of this branch. This is why, as an object of study, a company that currently operates with a manufacturing time of 52 weeks will be analyzed, generating an operational gap of disadvantage compared to other companies that manage an estimated 28 weeks in their manufacturing process. production, the six sigma methodology will be used to analyze the possible changes that can be generated with its implementation.
