Optimizing OEE in a Peruvian Fishmeal Factory Through TQM, TPM, and Standard Work: A Case Study

Research output: Chapter in Book/ReportConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The Peruvian fishmeal industry faced persistent challenges from machinery failures, process variability, and lack of standardization, which limited its competitiveness. While previous studies explored TPM, TQM, and Standard Work individually, few addressed their combined application in fishmeal production—an existing research gap. This study addressed that gap by developing an integrated model to optimize the production of “Super Prime” fishmeal. The intervention focused on increasing equipment availability, reducing reprocessing, and standardizing key operational tasks. After implementation, OEE rose by 7.12%, MTBF increased by 7.5 hours, and MTTR decreased by 6.3 hours. The share of Super Prime fishmeal improved from 5% to 12%, and the cost-benefit ratio reached 8.83. These results provide practical insights for process-based industries seeking to enhance product quality and operational efficiency under resource constraints. The study offers a replicable framework for the fishery sector and highlights the potential for increased profitability through coordinated quality and maintenance strategies.
