Implementation of Lean-TPM Strategies to Improve Sewing Efficiency: A Case Study in a Peruvian Garment Manufacturer SME

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Peru's garment manufacturing industry faces significant operational inefficiency challenges, characterized by disorganized workplaces and frequent machine breakdowns. This study addressed these issues by implementing a production model combining Lean Manufacturing and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). Key tools such as 5S, work standardization, and autonomous maintenance were employed to enhance productivity. Results showed an 11.73% improvement in sewing efficiency, a 16% reduction in cycle time, and a 54% decrease in machine breakdowns. These findings highlight the model's potential to boost competitiveness and sustainability, offering valuable insights for SMEs in similar contexts and inviting further research.
