Estudio preliminar para la creación de una empresa especializada en planes de mantenimiento de lubricación orientada a asesorar empresas productoras de alimentos en la ciudad de Bogotá

Abstract

Companies engaged in the manufacture of products for human consumption are characterized by their adherence to high standards of quality, safety, and airtightness in their production processes, which in turn depend on the proper functioning of the equipment that makes up the production lines—such as transmission systems, agitators, vacuum pumps, and/or centralized lubrication systems. The absence of properly structured lubrication maintenance plans leads to cross-contamination due to lubricant leaks, unscheduled downtime, financial losses, and non-compliance with end-consumer expectations. This issue highlights a significant gap in maintenance management within food-producing companies. In response to this need, we propose conducting a preliminary study for the creation of a consulting firm specializing in the design and implementation of maintenance plans focused on the food sector. This contributes to compliance with ISO 22000 and FDA standards through an approach focused on the analysis of lubricant selection, preventive and predictive maintenance programs, and traceability procedures in equipment operation. The development of this project will determine the technical, economic, and operational feasibility of the proposal, contributing to the reliability of production processes while reducing the risks of contamination.
