A company’s productivity improvement is multi-causal, one of the causes being the reduction of time. That is why this article presents the methodology that a transnational automotive company performs to reduce downtime in the ventilation hole cutting operation, since it is a critical process that directly affects the productivity of the company. This project was carried out with the DMAIC methodology, in which the diagnosis is made through Ishikawa and Pareto, continuing the analysis of time. As part of the analysis of downtimes, the most frequent failures are included, as well as preventive maintenance and specifically tooling. Information is presented regarding the areas of opportunity, implementation of improvement strategies delimited by the design of an awl. Finally, it shows the reduction of time in the change of tooling, through the implementation of the improvements.
