Abstract

The present study named “Maintenance Management Evaluation of the Hydroelectric Generation Center Río Blanco from Empresa Eléctrica Riobamba S.A, during the year 2014”, consisting in to stablish the background, justification and objectives to be fulfilled. In the theoretical framework is extracted the relevant terminology to the development of this study matching with a descriptive study of the different areas and hydroelectric generation process. In the methodological framework the accomplished field work is presented using investigation techniques such as the survey, interview and directed observation to the maintenance personal in charged, besides of the gathering evidences and its later statistically treatment to determine a diagnostic and global quantitative evaluation of the current situation of the maintenance management of the Río Blanco Station. At the end of the global evaluation of the Río Blanco Station, the global perceptual marks getting according to the Venezuelan norm (COVENINI 2500-93, 1993) was established, which allows to evaluate system of maintenance management of the companies where it got 65,65 % of fulfilled with the norm, evidencing some deficiencies in the maintenance management of the station. Therefore, an improvement proposal is presented based on synthesized model of the maintenance plan according to the operational context station supporting in the Maintenance Focus in the Reliability principles. Moreover, it recommended a critically analysis to the station, personal training in specific areas of maintenance, promoting organizational changes and stablish a looking for hidden faults strategy to prevent or reduce the occurrence of a multiple faults.
