Abstract

This research work has designed and developed a methodological proposal which aims to organize/systematize a logical sequence of analysis allowing to eliminate, or otherwise diminish the deviations in the activities, which imply a high risk in the results of the activities program to be executed. Among the macro activity “Assets Management”, this methodological proposal integrates itself with the basic processes of planning, programming, monitoring and control, and evaluation throughout the definition of prescriptive and systematic stages utilizing the proposed concepts of SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) and TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving). This proposal is presented through 7 core stages. Gathering information about the specific situation (1), Creation of working groups (2). Base line establishment (3). Definition of internal and external tasks (4). Transform internal into external activities (5). Improvement opportunities (6). Measurements and evaluation of results (7). In addition, a practical application for the mining industry is developed, activity which allowed to validate and considerably improve the methodological proposal mentioned.
