Resumen

Textile SMEs operate in a highly competitive environment; low machine availability restricts production capacity. In Peru, the sector's average availability is 90.5%, versus 72.3% in the case study. Downtime due to electrical failures, minor failures and misadjustments, and operator travel time was addressed through Planned Maintenance, Autonomous Maintenance, and SLP, respectively. Through a four-week pilot and a simulation of the integrated model in Arena, electrical failures were reduced by 71.7%, minor failures and misadjustments by 24.7%, and travel times by 24.2%, raising machine availability to 77.5%. The integration of Lean tools offers significant improvements by reducing lost time, increasing availability in a high-demand environment such as the Peruvian textile industry.
