Diseño de un plan de mantenimiento preventivo para los vehículos de una empresa transportadora de carga del Valle del Cauca

Abstract

Industrial engineering plays a fundamental role in the design, standardization and control of all processes of a company. This is why this article contains a study carried out at a cargo transport company located in Cencar (Yumbo) in the department of Valle del Cauca, a company in which a preventive maintenance plan was designed and implemented. For this, the maintenance activities were characterized, the inherent variables of the process such as logistic operations, schedules, routes, the identification and evaluation of the critical elements of the operation, to define actions that allowed to reduce the constants stranded on the highway, the cost and time of repairs, fuel consumption and increase tire performance. The design and implementation of preventive maintenance allowed to improve the productivity of the fleet based on the best performance of the 17 trucks. Also, it was possible to generate an order in the transport operation of the vehicles, increasing their reliability in the deliveries and improving the overall productivity of the fleet.
