Aplicabilidad de la criticidad en el mantenimiento de equipos

This work presents an information system of preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance related to the data obtained from Criticality Matrix whose parameters were based on the history of maintenance interventions and the visual and auditory observation of equipment such as Mechanical scales, Winches, Hoppers and Sterilizers. Criticality analysis determined trends of preventive and predictive maintenance for the pairs “Hoppers, Sterilizers” and “Mechanical scales, Winches”, respectively, establishing in this way a preventive maintenance planning system for Hoppers and Sterilizers through the design, elaboration and data feed to the information system that anticipates the planned control over the actions of the maintenance and production department. These actions generate benefits such as the availability and safety of the equipment plant, improvement in the quality of the products, a better register with the capacity of first hand information on the conditions of the machinery, a good capacity in quantity and quality of maintenance activities, optimization in the handling of repair parts, improvements in the design of equipment which leads to reduction of costs for maintenance.
