    Propuesta de diseño para una metodología que permita integrar en una sola herramienta de gestión a Lean Manufacturing Teoría de Restricciones
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Valencia García, Guillermo Federico; Hernández, Juan David; Giraldo Hernández, Gina María
    The main purpose of this research was to develop a methodological proposal that harmoniously integrates two key approaches in process optimization: Lean Manufacturing and the Theory of Constraints (TOC). These two tools are globally recognized for their ability to consistently improve business results. However, their methods differ significantly: while Lean Manufacturing focuses on reducing waste throughout the value chain, TOC focuses on minimizing the impact at specific points, called constraints. This disparity carries notable advantages and disadvantages. Lean Manufacturing drives improvements throughout the chain and promotes a culture of continuous improvement, although its implementation can be slower and more expensive. On the other hand, TOC, by focusing on restrictions, obtains faster and more forceful results. However, its long-term impact may be limited due to the displacement of the constraint along the chain. To achieve an integrated methodology, a bibliographic review and interviews with experts in Lean Manufacturing and TOC were carried out. The interviews carried out sought to understand in a practical way how these methodologies behave in the companies analyzed. These actions allowed us to define, in six steps, a tool that seeks to take advantage of the best of each approach and avoid conflicts, generating a complementary process. The resulting methodology, based on theoretical and practical information, aims to optimize operational excellence, generating more reliable and flexible processes, which facilitates adaptation to market expectations.
