Desarrollo de un plan de mantenimiento preventivo para la nueva flota de vehículos de la empresa pública metropolitana de movilidad y obras públicas (EPMMOP) de la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

The Metropolitan District of Quito created the Metropolitan Public Company of Mobility and Public Works on 28 February 1994. According to Ordinance 3074, the Empresa Metropolitana de Obras Públicas was established. Subsequently, in April 2008, after 14 years, it merged with the Empresa Metropolitana de Servicios y Administración del Transporte, giving rise to the Empresa Municipal de Movilidad y Obras Públicas. Within the municipality, the Directorate of Public Works existed, which in turn included the sub-directorates of Maintenance and Construction, Approval of Plans and Parks and Gardens. In addition, the Directorate of Control and the Road Studies Unit, which later became the Directorate of Studies of EMOP-Q, were integrated. The development of the preventive maintenance plan involves defining the necessary maintenance tasks and activities for each vehicle. Appropriate maintenance intervals must be determined, considering variables such as vehicle type, operating conditions, loads carried and legal and safety requirements. It is crucial to establish clear criteria for the execution of maintenance tasks, including frequency, specific procedures and quality standards. This always ensures the correct condition and operation of vehicles, reducing errors that can affect the implementation of projects and services. Each vehicle in the EPMMOP fleet is staffed by highly trained and authorized personnel. Driving responsibly and complying with the company's rules of the road are essential. Driving skills and dexterity not only ensure the safety of road users, but also the integrity of the vehicles and the quality of the services offered. Quito's EPMMOP has recently acquired a new fleet of light and heavy vehicles to improve its transport capacity and mobility. The Great Wall Wingle 7 light vans are renowned for their quality and versatility, while Ambacar's Great Wall Wingle 7 double cab offers an excellent balance of comfort, strength and load capacity. The process of bringing vehicles into the workshop begins when the customer arrives at our premises and is greeted by our specialized customer service staff. This entire process must be digitized using THE VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) program, specifically designed to accurately record each vehicle entry and facilitate the creation of a detailed work order. This work order will provide complete information on the materials, equipment and personnel required to conduct the preventive maintenance. This ensures proper allocation of resources and the correct execution of actions in a timely manner.
