Industrial Maintenance Management to increase equipment availability in an electrical services company, Callao 2025

Abstract

This study is aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), as it seeks to strengthen a flexible infrastructure that promotes industry and fosters innovation. Unexpected equipment failures are a critical problem for industrial companies because they reduce machine availability, increase downtime and cause economic and operational losses. The general objective was to determine how Industrial Maintenance Management increases equipment availability in an electrical services company, Callao 2025. The research was applied, with a quantitative approach, explanatory level and a pre-experimental design. The population and sample comprised 16 weeks of maintenance-order records for the Bauker 6 kVA generator set, corresponding to the pretest (July–October 2025) and the posttest (January–April 2026); the technique was documentary analysis and the instrument a record sheet. The implementation was structured under the PDCA cycle combining corrective and preventive maintenance. Results show that availability increased by 35.42 % (from 66.70 % to 90.33 %), reliability by 21.70 % (from 78.88 % to 95.99 %), and maintainability decreased by 14.01 % (from 62.03 % to 53.34 %). The Wilcoxon test yielded a significance of 0.000, confirming that Industrial Maintenance Management significantly increases equipment availability.
