Programa de mantenimiento productivo total (TPM) para la optimización de los servicios automotrices y procesos de control en la flota de vehículos del taller automotriz Rull Performance de la ciudad de Quito – Ecuador.

Abstract

The present project was based on the initial analysis of Rull Performance, one of the most renowned workshops in the city of Quito. This workshop offers comprehensive automotive services, engine upgrades, preparations, and more. It is located in the northern part of the city. A Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) program was developed with the aim of improving the workshop's initial situation and providing practical solutions, as well as preventive maintenance activities to ensure efficiency in each maintenance or repair performed on their fleet of vehicles. Methodologies such as the 5S were employed to completely redesign the work environment in all areas of the workshop. This not only reduced risks for workers due to obstacles or disorder within the facilities but also improved the workflow between different areas. The classification and labeling of each asset, tool, and spare part ensured that workers could quickly and easily find what they need to carry out maintenance or repair actions, thus optimizing time and increasing the overall efficiency of the workshop. As a result of these changes, significant improvements were achieved in the workshop's initial situation. There was a 32% increase in the efficiency of each of the workshop's equipment, a 20.28% increase in their availability, and finally, a productivity increase of 18.1%. These data demonstrate that Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) delivers considerable results.
