“…The distribution of plant consists of the physical order of industrial and commercial elements, this order includes both the spaces required for material movement, storage, indirect workers and all operating activities or service, that is, Digital Object Identifier (DOI): http://dx.doi.org/10.18687/LACCEI2019.1.1.59 ISBN: 978-0-9993443-6-1 ISSN: 2414-6390 considered optimal distribution design of a workplace [8]. In research by Asad (2016), details the creation of four plant distributions for a medium-scale manufacturing company. For the development of plant distribution, the author performs the following steps:…”

“…Many of the problems found in companies are related to the disorganization of processes, the flow of materials, layout and workstations, they cause unnecessary use of physical space, excessive movement and transportation, low productivity and delayed orders [4]. For a manufacturing SME the activity that consumes most of the time without value added was minimized by implementing 5S [5] [6], through the use of SLP with Lean tools, creates efficiency in the flow of material. Several researches show improvements for these problems, one of them to solve the problem of high cycle time in the sewing process of a textile company used lean techniques Flexsim simulator to validate the results, movement, transportation, occupied area stock fell in the process, among others were reduced, activities that add value had an increase of 7% [4], other one aims to reduce waste (mudas) in the workshop of a manufacturing small-scale enterprise (SME) with the implementation of 5S, as a result, it obtained that the nonproductive manipulation time of the elements in the work areas was reduced by 50% [2].…”

In Peru, the Textile sector generates between 350 and 400 thousand direct jobs, representing 1.9% of Gross domestic product (GDP) and just over 10% of manufacturing. SMEs are characterized by being formed by family businesses, low levels of investment in new technologies and limited financial resources. This context has made SMEs are delayed compared to large companies in implementing Lean Manufacturing. Manufacturing textile companies that have problems with low productivity, excessive use of physical space, unnecessary movement and transport, use the tools of Lean Manufacturing and distribution plant for solving these problems. Many of the problems found in companies are related to the disorganization of processes, material flow and layout. Therefore, companies have seen the need to apply different strategic tools to help them increase the efficiency of their processes and become more competitive in their market. Among the strategic tools is the Lean Manufacturing. Several authors conclude that the plant distributions that SMEs have are not correct for increased productivity, however, the improvement models presenting lack information on how to create step by step a new layout of the company. Because of this, this article details the steps that SMEs can follow in search for a plant distribution model under the SLP tool.

The Storage Technologies allow to have an effective and planned management of the resources a company contains (materials or information). When they contain information, there is a need to possess an information storage system, to retrieve relevant aspects from a data reservoir. Regarding Knowledge Management (KM) on Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (M-SMEs) usually has short presence on the literature, which is why this project can help to collect information on the subject. This work will be considered to those people who support the recently open M-SMEs, which present difficulties on their intellectual capital, innovation and development, generating a high rate of failure. With the objective of effectively apply KM on those companies using data storages, this article consists on presenting the current situation on the studied elements in the introduction, following a theoretical analysis and the process designed to achieve the objective. The process was to develop a database, with a design based on Storage Technologies which was used, and its utility will be determined on the conclusions. As result, the objective was achieved because, with an amount of case studies, data of interest was available and formed a new criterion that allows a practical and integral selection of tools and strategies of KM on those companies. RESUMENLas tecnologías de almacenes permiten tener una gestión efectiva y planificada de los recursos que una empresa tiene (materiales e información). Cuando contienen información, existe una necesidad de poseer un sistema de almacenamiento de información, para recibir aspectos relevantes por parte de un almacén de datos. En el caso de la Gestión del Conocimiento (GC) en Micro, Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas (MiPyMEs) suele tener poca presencia en la literatura, por lo que este proyecto puede ayudar a recolectar información del tema. Este trabajo está dirigido a aquellas personas que apoyan a las MiPyMEs de nueva creación, las cuales presentan dificultades en su capital intelectual, innovación y desarrollo, generando un alto grado de fracaso. Con el objetivo de aplicar efectivamente la GC en dichas empresas mediante el uso de almacenes de datos, este artículo consiste en presentar la situación actual de los

“…Also, it can be realised in multiple ways, such as by decreasing the production unit cost or decreasing the production work content, by increasing the products' valueadded content [8][9][10][11][12][13][14], by line balancing with respect to the production line, or via combination of all of these [9][10]15]. Enhancement of productivity can be defined as a continuous improvement process that is applicable to many kinds of activities [7][8]11,[16][17]. When harnessing more profit via the same types of resources, increasing productivity is regarded as a key issue [18].…”

Today with a rapidly changing world and markets, SMEs are facing a critical challenge to remain competitive in the business market. In this paper, a case study of the SMEs food industry is presented. Work study methodology was embedded in the strategy to improve the productivity of the soya sauce enterprise. The sample size required for the study was calculated and random observations were determined through a work sampling technique to achieve a 95% confidence level. The result from this study reveals that work sampling data can be used as a reliable estimation for identification of any potential bottleneck as well as idle time in the factory. The process flowchart at the filling and capping terminal were examined and the travelling distance was optimized to 12.5 feet from original distance of 17 feet. The modified plant layout significantly improves the people flow, production material handling, work safety, space utilization, and better working conditions. The survival of SMEs is critical as this sector contributes 38.3% to Malaysian‘s gross domestic productivity (GDP). Thus, these findings demonstrated that enhancing the productivity of SME food industries is effective through a work study. However, the successful adoption of this approach is mostly because of top administrative involvement and the participation of all staff members. ABSTRAK: Pada hari ini, dengan perubahan pesat dunia dan pasaran, SMEs berhadapan cabaran getir bagi terus tetap berdaya saing dalam pasaran perniagaan. Kajian ini membincangkan berkaitan kes kajian SMEs dalam industri makanan. Kaedah kajian kerja telah diguna pakai dalam strategi bagi meningkatkan pengeluaran sos soya. Saiz sampel yang diperlukan bagi kajian ini dikira dan pemerhatian rawak diperoleh melalui teknik persampelan bagi memperolehi 95% tahap yakin diri. Hasil keputusan kajian menunjukkan data persampelan boleh digunakan sebagai anggaran boleh percaya bagi mengklasifikasi kemungkinan kesesakan dan juga masa terbiar dalam kilang. Proses carta alir pada terminal isian dan penutup telah diperiksa dan jarak perjalanan dioptimumkan pada 12.5 kaki dari jarak asal iaitu 17 kaki. Ubah suai susun atur kilang dapat memperbaiki dengan ketara aturan pekerja, pengendalian bahan pengeluaran, keselamatan kerja, pengunaan ruang tempat kerja dan persekitaran tempat kerja yang lebih bagus. Kemandirian SMEs adalah sangat kritikal kerana sektor ini menyumbang 38.3% kepada Keluaran Malaysia Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK). Oleh itu, hasil kajian menunjukkan peningkatan produktiviti industri makanan SMEs adalah berkesan menerusi kajian ini. Walau bagaimanapun, keberhasilan kaedah ini berpunca daripada keterlibatan pentadbiran dan seluruh anggota pekerja.
