MORALES-ZAMORA, Marlén y GONZALEZ-SUAREZ, Erenio. Reliability Assessment on a Diversified Industry from the Revamp of its Facilities. RTQ [online]. 2017, vol.37, n.1, pp. 1-11. ISSN 2224-6185.
The study aims to assess the reliability of a diversified industry of sugar cane based on a proposal of reorganization and revamping of their facilities to the joint production of ethanol, furfural, fiberboard and electricity from bagasse. It is analyzed as a case study Amancio Rodríguez Sugar Company, determining the reliability before and after the proposed restructuring. As a result is obtained, the reliability of the plants are 90 % lower than before, which shows the deterioration of equipment, reducing the capacity and availability of facilities. After the proposed restructuring, reliability decreases 79,87 % and a 89,15 % increase achieved with buffers and redundancies equipment. The impact of assimilation and adaptation of this ethanol technology from bagasse, involve investment costs in pumping equipment and intermediate storage.
