Propuesta de implementación de un sistema de mantenimiento productivo total (TPM) en la Pasteurizadora El Ranchito Ltda"

Abstract

Abstract: This thesis proposes the design and implementation of a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) system at Pasteurizadora El Ranchito Ltda. in order to optimize maintenance management and increase the overall efficiency of the equipment. To this end, a descriptive and quantitative methodology was used to analyze historical records of downtime, work orders, and operational information to diagnose the current situation and calculate key indicators. The study determined an overall OEE of 85,81% (availability 93,20%, performance 93,16%, and quality 98,83%), evidence of good performance but with clear opportunities for reducing downtime and optimizing performance. On that basis, a practical proposal was designed and adapted to the plant, integrating the eight pillars of TPM (autonomous and planned maintenance, focused improvements, quality, training, early management, safety, and administrative TPM). A procedure was developed with records and a schedule of activities that includes 5S and daily inspections to institutionalize continuous improvement. The recommendations prioritize strengthening autonomous maintenance, standardizing procedures, training personnel, and improving spare parts management to sustain productivity and ensure the availability of machines and equipment.
