Lean Thinking—Banish Waste and Create Wealth in your Corporation
Open accessAbstract
Los procesos organizacionales están mediados por múltiples factores que inciden en su operatividad y determinan el alcance de sus propósitos, uno de estos factores es la estandarización, la cual, como campo de estudio de la ingeniería industrial examina la unificación de los procedimientos organizacionales, a fin de crear patrones de desempeño y establecer orientaciones sobre actividades y tiempos que componen cada proceso vinculado a la prestación de un servicio. Por tanto, el análisis de la cuestión se centró en proponer un modelo de gestión de procesos en la Universidad ECCI que, con fundamento en Lean thinking, permitiera estandarizar los tiempos de respuesta a las solicitudes y disminuir demoras en la solución de las peticiones; a partir de la consulta de la literatura disponible en distintas fuentes de carácter académico, ingenieril, investigativo y procedimental. La mencionada consulta y la aplicación de distintas herramientas de Lean Service permitió someter tres procesos de la IES a un modelo experimental organizado en Diagramas de flujo y DOP, para hacer efectivo el seguimiento mediante análisis de desempeño de los procesos, mapas VSM y Lean Six Sigma, con un enfoque particularizante en mudas y valor añadido. De esta manera, apoyados en el paradigma pospositivista en el que las realidades son susceptibles de reflexión y los resultados considerados como probablemente verdaderos y una propuesta metodológica descriptiva, los procesos objeto de estudio fueron plasmados…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
