    The research aims to develop a maintenance plan for the production area of Megacons, a company dedicated to the manufacture and maintenance of trailer platforms. The company faces challenges such as a lack of technical documentation, a dusty environment, and the absence of a designated maintenance area, leading to excessive reliance on corrective maintenance, which has caused significant damage and unplanned downtime affecting productivity. The maintenance plan is based on an equipment criticality analysis, conducted through process and equipment characterization. Since the company lacked crucial information, flowcharts were created for planning, design, material receipt, and production processes, as well as a layout integrating the location and distribution of equipment and services. Field research allowed for the identification and classification of equipment, resulting in systematic coding and a criticality analysis highlighting two critical pieces of equipment: the impact wrench (52) and the oxy-fuel cutting tool (60), and "Important" equipment such as the Campbell Compressor, Lincoln Welder, and Ingco Electric Generator. Key indicators like MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) were identified for a more in-depth analysis and continuous improvement. The result is a detailed maintenance plan based on Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) methodology, including preventive, predictive, and corrective strategies, the creation of technical datasheets, identification of failure modes, and definition of maintenance routes and operational responsibilities, with the aim of improving equipment management and operation.
