Propuesta de un plan de mantenimiento para una empresa de servicios industriales del cantón Durán

Abstract

This study addresses the issue of the lack of a formal maintenance plan in an industrial services company located in the canton of Durán. It is evident that the absence of a proper maintenance strategy leads to operational inefficiencies, increased costs, and decreased productivity. Through the research, multiple deficiencies were identified in the company's maintenance practices, including the absence of a preventive maintenance plan, a lack of detailed failure records, and the non-existence of a formal maintenance policy. Based on the results and following the PDCA cycle, a maintenance plan is proposed designed to optimize resources, minimize downtime, and increase the company's sustainability; additionally, a method for evaluating and improving the maintenance plan is proposed. The results obtained allowed for the design of a customized maintenance plan adapted to the specific needs of the company.
