MACIAS-BARBARAN, Ángel M.; ARTEAGA-LINZAN, Ángel  and  RODRIGUEZ-RAMOS, Pedro A.. Analysis of indicators at canned tuna processing plant boiler. Ingeniería Mecánica [online]. 2021, vol.24, n.3, pp. 11-17.  Epub Nov 17, 2021. ISSN 1815-5944.

This work is the result of the research carried out at the Canned Tuna. Canned tuna is its star product, which has led to setting the standards of one of its most critical equipment; the steam generator (the Cleaver Brooks CB-LE boiler), having as a starting point, the record of failures in a scheduled maintenance software already implemented. One part of the maintenance management that is currently applied in this boiler is based on the experience acquired by the personnel in charge of maintenance, while the other part is based on the replacement of parts at fixed time intervals, therefore, the objective This work is to evaluate the status of the maintenance management of the boiler, through the application of Reliability, Maintainability and Availability indicators, that is, applying the so-called RAM analysis (Reliability, Availability and Maintainability, for its acronym in English). . As a result of the investigation it was detected that: Reliability is relatively low, Maintainability is medium and Availability is high.

Keywords : reliability; maintainability; availability; maintenance; boiler.
