Propuesta de estándares de limpieza, inspección y mantenimiento de equipos críticos bajo los lineamientos de la filosofía de TPM en una industria de alimentos de la región

Abstract

Nowadays, the manufacturing sector is always subject to innovations that force the industry to evolve faster and faster in order to be more effective in the production process, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is focused on these objectives, a Japanese methodology that has been implemented since the 60's with excellent results in many industrial sectors. In this case, in a food plant under study there is a high number of failures that are generating maintenance overruns due to repairs, losses in lubricant consumption and reduction of the available time of the equipment that with the design of standards and their respective Documentation and execution is sought in critical equipment, recover its basic conditions, its efficiency, reduce maintenance costs and contribute to the continuity of processes without functional failures. All this supported by the Autonomous Maintenance (MA) pillar structured in the TPM methodology and contributing to the RCM of the equipment for its acronym in English (Reliability Centered Maintenance)
