Work study is an extensively used technique for examining the methods to carry out activities in a company and proposing actions for productivity improvement. This paper presents a work-study application to a fruit nectar process inside a food company using 5W1H and ECRS techniques. A critical analysis was conducted in three previously selected activities, according to its improvement potential. Results allowed optimizing distances along the process and improving ergonomic conditions for workers. Savings included a total distance of 10.2 m, two transportation activities and two delays activities per production cycle. Also, the standard time was determined in one of the prioritized activities. Our results demonstrated that work study techniques are tools suitable to be implemented in most economic sectors for productivity improvements. However, the technique itself will not be effective without a commitment from top-level management for implementing the corrective actions proposed.

Purpose: This research studied the current document management (DM) practices in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of a road freight transport sector in a South American city with the aim to determine strengths and challenges for improving information management. Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted using a survey approach based on measuring information management capabilities (IMC) through the following main dimensions: perception about DM practices, DM policies and tools, IT usage, organizational climate, and problems related to document management. Findings: The main results from the work stated the challenges for these companies in adopting electronic document management systems (EDMS) and handling information effectively even though the business experience. Also, the study highlighted the top management commitment in terms of investments for IMC development. Nevertheless, this economic support tends to be not enough to afford the EDMS implementation. Originality/value: Regarding the importance of information in road freight transport sector, this paper explored DM practices in a field in which no previous studies related to DM had been conducted and set the basis to make decisions to improve information management performance.

Las empresas se enfrentan continuamente a una serie de variables que restringen su productividad y afecta considerablemente el nivel de competencia en el mercado al que pertenecen. Estas variables están relacionadas con aspectos netos de producción como la materia prima, operaciones y procesos, maquinarias, recurso humano, entre otros, y aspectos derivados del direccionamiento estratégico de las empresas. Se ha demostrado en investigaciones realizadas que la implementación de herramientas de la ingeniería industrial permite el mejoramiento del sistema productivo y aumenta los niveles de competitividad empresarial. Este trabajo es un caso de estudio de mejoramiento del sistema productivo en una empresa (PYME) del sector muebles en el departamento del Atlántico con la realización de Estudio del Trabajo y diseño e implementación de Plan Maestro de Producción (MPS, por su sigla en inglés). Los resultados muestran aumento de la productividad en más del 50%, reducción de reproceso, costos de producción, tiempos de entrega y faltantes, a través de la optimización de los recursos disponibles y la validación por medio de análisis de escenarios
