    This work focuses on the optimization of maintenance costs for dies (egg tray molds) at Pulpa Moldeada S.A., with the aim of improving operational efficiency and reducing unnecessary expenses. A methodology was applied that included the analysis of current processes, surveys of the staff to identify perceptions about maintenance efficiency and the application of the simplex method to optimize resources. The results revealed that 90.91% of the staff considers the maintenance processes to be efficient, although 9.09% identified areas for improvement, especially in downtime. Opportunities to improve maintenance management were identified, such as the implementation of a predictive monitoring system and ongoing staff training. The proposed strategies, which include input optimization and improved maintenance protocols, have the potential to significantly reduce costs. The impact assessment showed positive results, with a reduction in downtime and an increase in productivity. The actions implemented have not only contributed to an immediate cost reduction, but also set the foundations for long-term sustainability. It is recommended to establish a continuous improvement plan, encourage staff participation in problem identification, and adopt advanced technologies for maintenance management. These initiatives will strengthen Pulpa Moldeada S.A.'s competitiveness in the market and ensure its future profitability.
