Desarrollo de un plan de mantenimiento para las áreas de producción y molienda en la Empresa ECUAMASTER, aplicando la Metodología de Mantenimiento Centrado en la Confiabilidad

Abstract

In the present technical project of curricular integration, a maintenance plan was carried out using the "reliability-centered maintenance" (RCM) methodology, for the machines and equipment of the EcuaMASTER company, located in the city of Milagro. In compliance with the objectives, first, the diagnosis of the current maintenance management was carried out, resulting in a regular maintenance management with an average percentage of 45% within the industry. As a second stage, the survey of the technical inventory was developed, with their respective codes of 114 pieces of equipment and 10 industrial machines, as well as the criticality analysis at the machine level using a qualitative method. Subsequently, the methodology (RCM) was applied, two important sheets were obtained; the first called "RCM Information Sheet or AMEF" and the second called "RCM Decision Diagram" with which it was established, functions, functional failures, failure modes, failure effects, proactive tasks and frequencies of each of the 114 teams of the company, obtaining 200 maintenance tasks, for each task the maintenance logistics was defined, which consists of determining the materials, spare parts, equipment, tools and labor. The information collected was entered into a "Computer Aided Maintenance Manager" (CMMS) and finally the company's staff was trained on the RCM methodology and the use of CMMS. In conclusion, the maintenance plan developed will improve the percentage of maintenance management, have a better organization of assets, and increase efficiency against the development of proactive tasks thanks to previously planned maintenance logistics. It is recommended to carry out an annual evaluation of maintenance management, adopt indicators that allow better control of the maintenance plan, and train personnel on the applied methodology and the CMMS.
