Optimización del Mantenimiento Preventivo en una Flota de Transporte de Larva para Mejorar la Eficiencia Operativa

Abstract

This research aims to develop a proposal for improving the management of the vehicle fleet maintenance, based on the guidelines of the ISO 55001 standard, in order to increase vehicle availability, optimize resources, and reduce operating costs. Effective maintenance management is a key factor in ensuring operational continuity, asset reliability, and efficiency in transportation services. For the development of this study, qualitative and quantitative research methods were applied, using tools such as surveys, interviews, and documentary analysis. The results reveal that the company shows a strong reliance on corrective maintenance, a lack of preventive maintenance planning, absence of historical maintenance records, limited control of spare parts, and insufficient technical training of personnel. These deficiencies have led to unplanned downtime, increased maintenance costs, and reduced fleet availability. In response to this situation, a maintenance management improvement proposal aligned with the ISO 55001 standard is presented, which includes preventive maintenance planning, the establishment of performance indicators, and improvements in control and monitoring processes. The implementation of this proposal will contribute to optimizing asset management, extending asset life cycles, and strengthening the company’s operational efficiency.
