Process innovation and sustainable production: the role of methods engineering in exporting companies

Nowadays, the implementation of methods engineering is fundamental, as it allows the identification of unnecessary processes and the design of new methods that make better use of resources. Therefore, a method engineering model is proposed to improve the productivity of exporting companies in Cañete. The research is applied, with a quantitative approach and experimental design. A questionnaire addressed to 389 employees was used with regard to the methods engineering variable and the productivity variable. The results show that 44.73% of the employees state that the level of methods engineering is poor, 48.59% state that the level of time engineering is poor and 52.96% state that the level of production is poor. These results reflect that a method engineering model should be proposed to promote process innovation with a sustainable production approach that increases resource efficiency.
