Lean manufacturing y su aplicación en la industria de plástico

Palabras clave: lean manufacturing, eficiencia en la producción, optimización de procesos, industria 4.0, sostenibilidad ambiental

Resumen

En este artículo se revisa la implementación y los impactos del en la industria del plástico, con el objetivo de sintetizar y evaluar cómo la adopción de esta metodología ha contribuido a mejorar la eficiencia, reducir costos y optimizar procesos productivos. Utilizando una metodología de revisión sistemática, se seleccionaron 97 artículos pertinentes. Los resultados principales de la revisión han indicado que lean no solo mejora la eficiencia operativa y reduce los desperdicios significativamente, sino que también fomenta la integración de tecnologías avanzadas como la industria 4.0. Además, se ha observado que, por lo general, tiene un enfoque basado en la sostenibilidad, pues lean facilita prácticas que apoyan la conservación ambiental y la reducción de la huella de carbono. En conclusión, se ha demostrado que lean manufacturing es una herramienta efectiva para mejorar las operaciones, pero su implementación efectiva requiere enfoques que se adapten a las particularidades culturales y estructurales de cada empresa.
