“Modelo de gestión de mantenimiento basado en RCM y TPM para optimizar tiempos y costos dentro del ciclo de vida útil de activos náuticos”

Managing assets implies getting the most out of a company's assets, a fact that achieves an operational competitive advantage over rivals in the sector. In relation to this, the present case study is focused on achieving the maximum efficiency of the resources of the Naval Center of Peru, which manages different vessels and maritime equipment as main assets in order to promote the practice of nautical sports in the country., but that is limited by the extra costs incurred in keeping them operational, which represent about 45% of total operating costs. Based on the diagnosis made, the main problem was the short life of the assets, from which various root causes related mainly to human errors and maintenance methods branched off. For this reason, the research proposes a novel model that integrates the best practices of TPM and RCM, adapting the COFA and FMEA analysis methods of RCM, as well as the most important pillars of TPM, in order to reduce systematic failures, accelerated wear and asset breakages, with reference to success stories from similar sectors that are adapted to a fleet of boats, within the framework of a nautical sector with little research on fleet management. Likewise, based on the proposed solution model, it was possible to reduce maintenance and operation costs by 20.29% and increase the lifetime of assets by 47.33%, demonstrating that the partial implementation (pilot) produces substantial results, but not the expected with the integral model due to the same maturity of the project.
