Application of the Maintenance Management Model (MGM) aligned with an Asset Management process. Case study: SINEA Perú, a leading company in Latin America in the production of recycled containers for commercial beverages (PET).

Abstract

The effectiveness of an integrated maintenance and reliability management process can be assessed through a detailed analysis of a wide range of factors that collectively represent the contribution of maintenance to the operational and production performance of an industrial asset. There are no simple formulas for designing a comprehensive maintenance and reliability model within an asset management system—aligned with the ISO 55001 standard—nor fixed or universally applicable rules that remain valid for all types of production assets.

 In this context, the main objective of this article is to present a synthesis of the implementation project of the AMORMS (Asset Management, Operational Reliability & Maintenance Survey) tool, based on the Maintenance Management Model (MGM) developed by INGEMAN, at SINEA PERÚ, a leading company in Latin America in the industrial manufacturing of recycled plastic containers for commercial beverages (PET preforms).

This article describes and analyzes the most relevant aspects addressed during the project:

 ·        Identification of key factors that contribute to improving asset performance through advanced maintenance management optimization techniques and reliability engineering methods, integrated within an asset management framework.

·        Assessment of critical processes of the proposed Maintenance and Reliability Management Model (MGM), following the guidelines of asset management standards UNE 16646 and ISO 55001.

·        Proposal for establishing a Reliability Engineering support group, aimed at implementing the improvement actions derived from the MGM.

·        Analysis of the results obtained from applying the diagnostic tool AMORMS, together with RCA (Root Cause Analysis) and RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance) methodologies in a pilot area at the SINEA PERÚ plant.

 Finally, the article presents the most significant recommendations and action plans identified during the project, which will support SINEA PERÚ in consolidating the effectiveness of its maintenance and reliability processes and in efficiently optimizing the value of its industrial assets throughout their life cycle.
