Diseña un programa de mantenimiento proactivo para disminuir el mantenimiento correctivo de los equipos mecánicos de transporte de hidrocarburos en Ecuador. Los métodos científicos utilizados, entre los que se encuentran tipo Aplicado y correlacional, la observación y la consulta a expertos permitieron la interpretación de los datos y la implementación en la práctica. Entre los resultados esenciales que aporta el trabajo se distingue: el diagnóstico y la reparación de los daños presentados en los Poliducto, y otros equipos mecánicos lo cual reducirá el mantenimiento correctivo en el transporte de hidrocarburos; este programa puede ser aplicado a diversas empresas, a la vez se considera los escenarios o campos de acción donde se ubican la organización y desenvuelve la tarea decisora, también se intenta encaminar hacia una misma dirección los criterios de actividades de lo...

Cocoa in grain is a tropical fruit considered as a heritage in Ecuador and constitutes 60% of the premium quality in chocolates worldwide, has sensory characteristics unmatched by other producing countries. Manual drying and selection activities contain many occupational hazards, affecting the safety and well-being of the people involved in these tasks, with the ergonomic risk of an intolerable level requiring immediate intervention. This research provides safe automated mechanisms for operations through internationally validated methodologies, without affecting the sensory characteristics.

The hydrocarbon transport industry combines its technical activities with the integrity of the installed operating systems, in addition to the implementation of safety measures for pipelines against failures and leakage of dangerous liquids. Thus, the risk control management model in all product shipment processes arises, which aligns the configuration of technical standards to operate pipelines in compliance with the prevention of substandard conditions and actions, which derive from the obligation to maintain pipeline integrity (installed capacity). This gives origin to a certain level of risk control management, as an achievement of the maximum level of conformity with the facilities, which ensures that all operating units achieve the development of new concepts of proactive, not reactive, work, in the face of unplanned disasters. In this study, significant risk levels were reduced fr...

El cacao en grano es una fruta tropical considerada como un patrimonio en el Ecuador y que constituye el 60% de la calidad premium en chocolates a nivel mundial, posee características sensoriales inigualables por otros países productores. Las actividades manuales de secado y selección contienen muchos riesgos laborales, afectando la seguridad y el bienestar de las personas que se dedican a estas tareas, siendo el riesgo ergonómico de nivel intolerable y que requiere intervención inmediata. Esta investigación proporciona mecanismos automatizados seguros para las operaciones a través de metodologías validadas internacionalmente, sin afectar las características sensoriales del cacao ecuatoriano.
