Abstract

The study formulated a comprehensive system of automated production and maintenance indicators in real time to optimize management in a beverage packaging plant in the mass consumption sector located in Venezuela. The problem lay in manual management with administrative weaknesses and lack of reliable data for decision making. Under the modality of feasible project and field design, a questionnaire was applied to 41 workers. The results showed the need for a technological solution for instant monitoring. The proposal, developed and implemented, proved to be feasible to increase productivity from 44 % to 53 % and a maintenance stoppage rate (from 18 % to 10 %). The system integrates key metrics into a digital platform, allowing an immediate response to deviations in packaging lines. It is concluded that the automation of indicators is essential to achieve operational excellence in industrial environments.
