Now a days, large companies or even SMEs have tried to improve their
processes and increase their profits through a good maintenance management, since
many years maintenance has been stopped seeing as a department responsible for
dealing with faults, to be entities responsible for ensuring that the objectives of the
companies are met, through good management and good use of assets. Being aware
of this, CEMEX one of the leaders worldwide in the production and distribution of highquality
cement, aggregates and concrete, has invested large sums of money for the
improvement of their maintenance activities through the implementation of world class
maintenance practices. However, it is not a secret that a maintenance program should
be dynamic, i.e kept constantly updated and improved continuously, this is perhaps one
of the aspects that many companies have forgotten; CEMEX seeks to eliminate these
malpractices.
To achieve this, first was important to evaluate the current maintenance
management to find possible improvement points. As a second step, was established
the hierarchy of assets considered critical for the company, in order to have
fundamentals in making decisions and establishing maintenance policies, allowing to
assess, if there is justification for repair an asset or just let it fail. Finally, equipment
were analyzed according to hierarchy of assets considered critical; were evaluated if
current maintenance activities are cost efficient; identifying this, was possible to obtain
a 15% reduction in the costs of preventive maintenance in these equipments, which,
as a consequence, increases productivity and profits, allowing to produce more, with
less resources.
