Abstract:
Small and medium-sized enterprises in the Peruvian beverage sector faced persistent challenges of low productivity, frequent machine stoppages, and excessive reprocessing that limited their competitiveness. Previous studies highlighted the effectiveness of Lean Manufacturing and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), but their combined application in bottling SMEs remained underexplored. This research addressed the urgent need to enhance operational efficiency by proposing an integrated model based on 5S, SMED, and TPM practices. The model was applied to a bottling company in Lima, where effectiveness had reached only 68% of the expected benchmark, generating annual losses equivalent to 34% of sales. Implementation reduced changeover times, improved workplace order, and increased equipment availability, yielding measurable gains in throughput and reliability. These outcomes demonstrated not only academic relevance by filling a gap in industrial engineering literature but also socioeconomic impact by strengthening SME competitiveness. The findings encourage further exploration of dual Lean TPM strategies in similar contexts.
