The current demand of the plastic sector has been increasing, managing to exceed the productivity of SMEs in developing countries such as Peru. Within this framework, the demand is greater than the supply due to the low production of the companies, which present a high index of hours due to lack of maintenance of the machines. The purpose of solving the main problem is to reduce the hours of low productivity that represent a great monetary loss for the company. That is why, by implementing this maintenance management model that is based on Lean Manufacturing, it will allow for a broad competitive advantage in the sector. This model was validated by implementing the TPM and SMED tools of the Lean Manufacturing philosophy within the plastics plant, achieving results that determine the degree of improvement of productivity in the company. Finally, after having validated the model, it is con...

This study addresses rising sustainability demands in the agro-industry by examining how data-driven approaches can reduce inefficiencies, waste, and poor resource use in spinach production. It investigates the impact of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), First-In–First-Out (FIFO), process standardization, and circular economy practices—enhanced through digital transformation—on operational efficiency in a Peruvian agro-industrial firm. An exploratory case study was conducted using pilot implementations, direct observation, and quantitative analysis. Statistical tools, including Holt–Winters forecasting, were applied to assess the effectiveness of the interventions. Digital technologies supported data collection, traceability, and decision-making. An exploratory case study was conducted using pilot implementations, direct observation, and quantitative analysis. The integration o...
