PEREZ, E.; CASTIBLANCO, I. A.  and  MATEO, N. F.. Design of a methodology to generate a maintenance plan through the integration of RCM, WCM and Lean Manufacturing in wire drawing processes. Entre Ciencia e Ingenieria [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.27, pp.82-90.  Epub Mar 20, 2021. ISSN 1909-8367.  https://doi.org/10.31908/19098367.0010.

The development of five phases based on Design Thinking (Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Evaluate) is presented in order to design a methodology integrating Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), World Class Manufacturing (WCM) and Lean Manufacturing tools, which allows generating a maintenance plan applicable in wire drawing processes, particularly in a Mexican company in the steel sector. In the "Empathize, Define and Devise" phases, the main problems in processes of the steel sector of Colombian companies and one in Mexico are identified, proposing solution alternatives based on needs and realities, considering the expected Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Subsequently, tools are selected according to the problem and the alternative solutions proposed. In the "Prototype and Evaluate" phases, the selected tools are integrated, generating a maintenance plan which is described and represented by a diagram as an evaluation of the designed methodology.
