Implementación de un plan de mantenimiento integral y de gestión de bodega mediante la utilización de un software para la flota de maquinaria pesada y vehículos del taller automotriz del GAD Municipal del Cantón Colta.

Abstract

To implement a plan of integral maintenance and warehouse management was the objective of this research work by using software for the fleet of heavy machinery and vehicles of GADMCC Automotive Workshop. The investigation was descriptive and applied. The population constituted by 52 workers included maintenance and warehouses. The information was obtained through surveys application with multiple-choice closed questions. The results of the research suggest that: there are serious deficiencies in the development of maintenance plans and programs, financial availability, organizational structure and inventory control. As for warehouse management, limitations were found in the planning of spare parts delivery and in updating of inventories. Through the maintenance software implementation, working conditions of road machinery, heavy and light, through specific plans avoid unscheduled stoppages. The implementation started with the equipment coding. In the maintenance plans there are tasks and frequencies, which indicate the execution procedure and the necessary resources such as: spare parts, materials and tools for each of the tasks assigned. The software developed facilitates automotive information, provides maintenance plans, fault histories and warehouse control. Maintenance management through software is an adequate technique that controls the operation of the vehicles, the availability of personnel and the management of warehouse resources. In conclusion the implementation of the web application (MAINTENANCE COLTA) reduced the corrective maintenance, the planned times for the preventive maintenance are executed according to the planned, the levels of acceptance of the software by the maintenance and warehouse personnel is 62% demonstrating a notable improvement in these processes after the implementation of the software. It is advisable to conduct periodic evaluations to verify the proper software functioning.
