Resumen

The model proposed in this article brings together the application bases of a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) system as the beginning towards Lean transformation for a mining company. It takes as reference models and success stories that were previously implemented and is adapted to guarantee the success of its application. Likewise, it includes an optimal indicator to evaluate the efficiency of mining equipment, the Mining Production Index-MPI, which is an adaptation of the OEE to the mining context. This methodology can be applied to other mining environments since it is totally flexible in each of its steps. A case study is carried out to evaluate the potential application of the proposal, attacking each of the problems found in order to increase the efficiency of the mining equipment. Inside, the initial conditions of the mine were determined and how the proposed methodology could help improve it was evaluated. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
