Abstract

The main purpose of this research was to apply Total Productive Maintenance with the purpose of improving productivity in the Agroindustry company, whose economic activity consists of the manufacture of fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides. For this purpose, Lean Manufacturing techniques were used, such as: The Ishikawa diagram facilitated the analysis and detection of the points that affect the lack of a standardized system and the demotivation of the personnel in the production area; likewise, the application of the 5S methodology allowed optimizing the organizational environment, and finally, Autonomous Maintenance was implemented as a strategy to improve the operational efficiency of the equipment. The modality of the study is applied, with an orientation towards the design, which is pre-experimental and explanatory level, with a sample of 218 participants by means of probabilistic sampling. As a result, the degree of productivity of the organization improved from 46.62% to 77.49%. Finally, it should be noted that there is a lack of research on the implementation of TPM in the packaging stage within the agroindustrial sector, which limits the optimization of yield, reduction of losses, and assurance of quality under conditions of high seasonal demand and sanitary restrictions.
