Plan de mantenimiento para la maquinaria crítica de Curtiduría Tungurahua S.A. basado en la Filosofía TPM

Abstract

The study presented is oriented to elaborate a maintenance plan for the critical equipment of the company Curtiduría Tungurahua S.A. by means of continuous improvement tools such as the TPM philosophy, due to the urgency of optimizing and maximizing the productive availability of the essential machinery installed in the plant. The starting point of the research is a deep analysis of the maintenance management through surveys and maintenance audits to better highlight the opportunities for improvement in the deficiencies found in each area of the department in question such as tooling policies, labeling and blocking systems, investigation of failures and breakdowns, among others described throughout the document. Subsequently, 9,6 % critical equipments were identified out of a total of 52 installed in the company, taking into account frequency and consequence factors; allowing to focus and prioritize the improvement and action efforts on these equipments for the elaboration of a maintenance plan based on failure modes and effects (FMEA). This modal analysis allows reducing a total of 83 shutdowns per year, which translates into approximately 8460 more minutes available for productive activities in the equipment established as critical which represents a reduction in inactivity of 18%.
