Abstract

The identification of improvements, shortcomings, and potential failures applied to maintenance has taken relevant attention from the scientific community in recent years. In order to carry out timely diagnosis, the employment of methods to properly measure the reliability of industrial processes has been a trend. In this work, AMORMS and AMS-ISO 55001 are applied to a seawater desalination plant in order to measure and generate a proper improvement plan. In this context, AMORMS is a model based on 8 phases which aims at asset management. Also, AMS-ISO 55001 which is based on the asset management norm ISO55001. The results achieved include the design and generation of actions to tackle the 20% more deficient categories needed to achieve a competitive industrial performance.
