Elaboración de un plan de mantenimiento para los sistemas mecánicos y mecatrónicos de la empresa la Perla Foods Cía. Ltda.

Abstract

The objective of this work is to develop a maintenance plan for the mechanical and mechatronic systems of the company La Perla Foods Cía. Ltda. identifying the problems of the area through the maintenance polygon method. Later, the inventory and coding of the equipment was carried out, and its criticality was determined by a semi-quantitative analysis, followed by the establishment of the maintenance model; from the criticality analysis was obtained that critical equipment is part of the NID Mogul line as it is responsible for the process of molding and demolding. The FMEA analysis was then performed to identify the causes of failure according to the risk priority number, where it was found that the molding machine has 16.48% of high-risk failures associated with 182 failure causes, while 19.23% of the 78 causes represent failures for the dryer, cooler and starch

extraction towers. Once the results were obtained, the RCM maintenance plan was developed with the activities that need to be done to combat the risks. Finally, after having developed the management activities, the situation of the maintenance area was evaluated achieving a general improvement of 19.92%.
