Propuesta de un sistema de gestión de inventario de repuestos a partir de la generación de un plan de mantenimiento para tractores 6403 John Deere en un ingenio azucarero del Valle del Cauca

Abstract

In the world there is a great challenge associated with competitiveness in organizations, and these in order to cope with it generate actions aimed at increasing productivity, through the optimal use of their resources, training of the workforce, among others, but also there are cases in which to prioritize productivity, some areas go into the background and are not controlled in the same way, such is the case of the maintenance area. When studying the maintenance programs in the production plants, it is found that the traditional companies spend more than 55% of their time in corrective maintenance (repairing equipment after the failure) and another 35% changing parts that they think are about to be broken because They have already spent the hours they consider normal. This is the most expensive maintenance that is known. Requires a stock or inventory of parts, available personnel and unoccupied production personnel while correcting the problem. In the present work, the case of the maintenance of the tractors in a sugar mill in the Valle del Cauca region was studied, where due to inadequate maintenance, accompanied by the lack of spare parts management, the teams have partial stoppages and totals For this, a proposal was implemented that integrates the RCM methodology and the inventory management, in such a way that the importance of the items of spare parts could be ranked by means of the RCM according to the priority in the failures, afterwards the behavior of the the demand to determine the forecasting method that best fits, with this an appropriate policy was defined for the company, which in this case was (R, S).
