In the year 2020, the plastic sector in Peru represented 4% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, a growing trend in polymer loss has been observed over the years for companies involved in this industry. A particularly noteworthy case is that of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), where a constant increase in losses has been recorded, reaching a concerning 3.5%. The company under study has not been immune to this issue, as it presents an 8% loss rate in the case of LDPE. Articles on this topic suggest solutions based on Lean Manufacturing approaches such as Kaizen, the PDCA cycle, and Six Sigma, but these proposals tend to be primarily directed at big companies. In this context, there arises the need to develop a model tailored to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in the production of LDPE bags. Therefore, an innovative model is proposed based on knowledge management, the Kaizen approach, and the Poka-Yoke technique, specifically designed to reduce losses in SMEs producing LDPE bags. The effectiveness of this model has been validated through an exhaustive case study, where a significant reduction of 2.53% in losses was achieved. It is worth noting that the 5S audit, one of the tools employed in the model, proved to be particularly effective, contributing to a 1.09% reduction in losses, underscoring the relevance of this comprehensive approach in improving efficiency and sustainability in the plastic industry in Peru.
