Abstract
Over the years, manufacturing companies have become an influential factor in the country's economy, 95% of them being small and medium-sized companies. However, many are not competitive due to low labor productivity that affects their production levels and the fulfillment of their demand; Furthermore, they lack the knowledge or resources to solve these problems. This research was carried out in view of the need to take advantage of human resources in a manufacturing SME, for which a micro-level production management model was proposed aimed at improving the production area by evaluating the anthropometric posture-base measurement of the operator, redesigning the production area and conducting a time study to improve the company's labor productivity. Through the simulation in the Arena software, an increase in labor productivity was achieved by 25%.
