The objective of this project is to reduce the downtime of a machine that performs the pleating of materials in a company dedicated to the manufacture of automotive parts. The development of this project aims to increase the availability of the machine and contribute to the use of material and humnan resources, achieving an increase in production to ensure permanence and competitiveness in the Market. Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) will be the methodology used to achieve the goal. The implementation of this methodology contributes to the updating of maintenance programs to achieve an increase of the MTBF indicator (Average Time Between Failures) and the decrease of the MTTR (Mean Time to Repair). The application of maintenance methodologies that exist today plays an important role within the industrial sector when it is necessary to meet the goals set by companies to meet the needs of customers.
