Design methodology for the selection of the best alternative of industrial machine maintenance for time reduction

This paper poses the application of a design methodology intended to improve a company’s efficiency in maintenance processes in terms of time reduction. As the procedure involved altering the machine, the compa-ny needed to analyze several options due to the high in-vestment required for all the possible modifications. For this reason, the company requested from the University a decision matrix. To accomplish this objective, a study to determine maintenance times was conducted and a crit-ical stage during die dismantlement and assembly was identified. Based on this information, the decision matrix was elaborated. The best alternative was to replace me-chanical guides for pneumatic guides. This option exceed-ed in 2% the second alternative and in 24% the last. The company succeeded in making a decision based on goal achievement and still today continues using decision ma-trixes for any adjustment in their processes
