La industria textil es una de las más importantes del mundo, es la encargada de proporcionar prendas a las personas. En México, el estado de Puebla ocupa el segundo lugar en producción textil. A pesar de ser un sector altamente productivo, la cadena de valor de la industria textil en México enfrenta grandes retos, situación que se asocia al fenómeno de importación de textiles a bajo costo, esto ha aumentado la competitividad en la producción y fabricación de prendas. Este estudio se centra en caracterizar el proceso de la Línea 5 de fabricación de pantalón de mezclilla para dama y caballero en la empresa CONFETEX S.A. de C.V., a través de la implementación de Lean Six-Sigma alineado a la metodología DMAIC, mediante la aplicación de las primeras dos fases ―definir y medir―. Para identificar el diseño del proceso se plantearon KPI´s, de puntos críticos de control, como e.g., rechazos, faltantes, producción y composturas. Finalmente, a partir del comportamiento de los KPI´s, se sugieren estrategias que pueden contribuir a mejorar el desempeño de la organización; algunas estrategias consideran la estandarización de procesos y procedimientos, la implementación del TPM y planes de mantenimiento de controles de mejora continua. De este estudio, se desprende la importancia de la caracterización de procesos productivos como estrategia para identificar necesidades, a partir de la implementación de Lean Six-Sigma bajo la metodología DMAIC, como esquema formal de mejora de procesos, y del incremento del valor añadido en la cadena productiva de las organizaciones como marco de competitividad.
