| dc.description | The present work shows the application of simulation of discrete events, to evaluate proposals to improve the capacity of the production process. Therefore, the efficiency of a food company through the approach and comparison of scenarios. The methodology used for its development was divided into five (5) phases, phase I: characterization of the process and quantification of current resources, phase II: input analysis, phase III: development and validation of the model using Tecnomatix Plant simulation software, phase IV: proposal and simulation of three scenarios, phase V: scenario analysis, concerning the results obtained in the performance indicators: Throughput, percentage of use and waiting time in each operation. The scenario that generated better results compared to the analysis was the third, which corresponded to the reprogramming of production, which was able to increase throughput by 38.70%, 9.57%, and 56.62% for corn chips, promasa tortillas, and wheat flour tortillas, respectively. Moreover, the percentage of use was increased, and the percentage of waiting time for each operation was reduced. With this, efficiency was enhanced through the increased production capacity. | |
