Abstract

Maintenance management is a process that optimizes the performance of an organization's assets, ensuring that these facilities operate regularly and efficiently. Its use in companies of different industries responds to the need to extend the useful life of their assets and increase capital investments to contribute to market growth. The aim is to develop a model of a mobile application to optimize the maintenance management processes of heavy transport units. The Scrum methodology was used because it adapts to the needs of the company and meets important characteristics such as flexibility, incremental delivery, and adaptability. The result was a prototype application to optimize the maintenance management process of heavy load transport units, which has a design and functionalities that allow users to interact with the system dynamically. To evaluate the quality of the prototype, experts evaluated aspects such as efficiency, usability, design, and functionality. Once the evaluation was done, the result was 4.68 on average. This shows that the quality of the prototype is high. It is concluded that it was possible to develop a prototype application to improve maintenance management, which complies with the characteristics mentioned above and allows users to improve maintenance management.

Keywords
