Resumen

This study presents a process improvement project in a Peruvian textile small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) specialized in knitted garments. The company operates with an On-Time Delivery (OTD) rate of 53.05%, which is significantly below the industry benchmark of 77%. This low performance is exacerbated by excessive setup times and high defect rates, which negatively affect production efficiency and process reliability. To address these challenges, a tailored Lean model was developed by integrating Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED), Poka-Yoke, and Standard Work, adapted to the company’s semi-manual operations. The main contribution of this study is to demonstrate that the combined and contextualized application of these tools can effectively reduce performance gaps in resource-constrained manufacturing environments. After simulation and pilot testing, the model achieved a 24.95-point increase in OTD, reaching 78%, along with reductions in setup time and operational variability.
