The insertion of these tools begins with an initial diagnosis by means of a value stream map. It is followed by the identification of root causes, the implementation of the tools and the evaluation of results in a period from April to September 2022. The final results were an increase in average productivity, which went from 0.26 tn/soles to 0.33 tn/soles, that is to say, the increase in productivity was achieved in the company under study.
