Mejoramiento del plan de mantenimiento preventivo de las máquinas críticas del área de metalmecánica de la Empresa ECUATRAN S.A. aplicando la metodología de optimización del plan de mantenimiento

Abstract

This technical project is an improvement of the preventive maintenance plan for critical machines in the metalworking area of the company ECUATRAN S.A. applying the Optimization Maintenance Plan Methodology, to ensure that the plan is executed successfully, thus reducing the accelerated degradation of these machines and obtaining fewer unforeseen stoppages for production. The first step was the execution of an evaluation on the situation in which the information of the maintenance plan that is required for the development of the project is found. Then, an inventory and technical coding of assets in the metalworking area was carried out, to later carry out a criticality analysis to determine the critical systems where the PMO methodology will be applied. Depending on the methodology, nine steps were applied: the first collects the preventive maintenance tasks, the second identifies the causes of failure for each task, the third analyzes new failure modes and performs an analysis of the failure modes. that must be prevented, fourth describes what would be the loss of function when presenting each failure, fifth evaluates the consequences for failure, sixth designates the appropriate task for each failure mode in relation to its consequences, seventh the new tasks are grouped of maintenance based on its frequency, eighth the company reviews the new plan so that it is approved, ninth corresponds to the adequacy of the tasks in a digital tool that allows a quick and easy management of the maintenance plan. Once the new maintenance tasks and routines had been defined, the allocation of technical and financial resources for their execution was determined. Finally, maintenance personnel were trained so that the implementation of the proposed plan is developed correctly.
