Impact of balancing workloads on the productivity of the small textile manufacturing company in Imbabura
Abstract
The survival of micro, small and medium-sized clothing companies is fundamentally conditioned by maintaining and promoting internal productivity levels. The objective of the research is to determine the effect of the introduction of workload balancing on the productivity of a clothing line of a small company in the province of Imbabura - Ecuador. The basic workload balancing model and the SALBP-1 model were used sequentially. The balance achieved shows a positive variation in multifactorial productivity of 7.2%, while the productivity of the labor factor increased by 22.2%. The improved process allows the company to respond to fluctuations in production demand with better expected results in economic terms.
