Definición de las Funciones y Herramientas para un Software de Gestión de Mantenimiento Ajustadas a los Requerimientos de la Industria Cementera Ecuatoriana.

Abstract

Defined functions and tools for maintenance management software, conform to the requirements of the Ecuadorian cement industry, and the characteristics of the key factors that are used for design and selection of computer applications. The definite software, type CMMS, is focused to optimizing functions of maintenance politics, management of costs and analysis and the cement plants in Ecuador. The development of this study has a theoretical frame which helps in the determination of maintenance management parameters, the software use and the definition of the basic principles to determine nowadays situation of every department. The analysis and diagnosis of the maintenance management manual was carried out by means of the information obtained in direct interviews, visits, telephone calls and e-mail with the chosen personnel of every plant of production from four companies that integrates the cement industry of Ecuador: Holcim Ecuador S.A., Lafarge Cementos S.A., Industrias Guapán S.A. and Cemento Chimborazo C.A. By using and international sampling and descriptive statistics, dissents are located in aspects of the international sampling and descriptive statistics, dissents are located in aspects of the manual management such as the maintenance and management of technical and cost information, therefore, the characteristics of application types ERP, EAM and CMMS used in the cement producers are analyzed and evaluated. Knowing the state of the maintenance management, assisted by a computer of every company, the functions and tools are defined by the economic management, control and making decision, contributing in the principal characteristics like failure diagnosis, strategies of maintenance, generation of reports, classification of interventions and ratification of working requests. A computer competitive application is generated according to expectations of the integral maintenance optimization where the increase of the productiveness is guaranteed by means of a control of availability and efficiency resources. The present study is recommended to the undergraduate and graduate students in maintenance and systems engineering at the ESPOCH, the programming and development of this software of management of maintenance type CMMS with tools RCM, under the linings described functions and key factors that integrates its characteristics.
