Propuesta del sistema de planeación de la producción para la empresa Calzado El Príncipe

Abstract

The CALZADO EL PRÍNCIPE Company began as an artisan craft shop. Since 1965 to the present, the company has made large investments in acquisition of machinery in order to increase its production capacity, but it didn’t develop its administrative staff at the same time and now they have problems in this department.

The problems that the CALZADO EL PRÍNCIPE Company is facing are focused in the area of Production management and planning. This is manifested by the continuous return of merchandise by customers due to the receipt of goods which do not comply with the conditions specified in the order. There are also problems with delivery times, when it comes to determine the quantity of raw materials needed to run the production process. Planning and control is run through a Microsoft computer program specifically through the use of Excel ® 2013. This software is divided into two parts, external data, and production management and planning.

This thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter describes the company and the products that are offered. The second chapter shows the different activities carried out by the CALZADO EL PRÍNCIPE Company’s production floor. The third chapter contains a theoretical framework with previously applied concepts to update a simulator. The fourth chapter contains the simulator in Excel ®, which is used as a planning and production control system simulator, and the necessary explanations for its proper development and use.
