Estrategias para la Planeación y Ejecución de Proyectos de Fabricación de Instalaciones Eléctricas para Autobuses del Sistema Integrado de Transporte

This monograph addresses methodologies for planning and executing electrical installation manufacturing projects for buses in the Integrated Transportation System, under the guidance of Dr. Ronald Rojas Alvarado.

The company where the study is being conducted is dedicated to the automotive sector and faces the challenge of modernizing its production processes, which have traditionally been carried out by hand. The research seeks to implement advanced project management methodologies based on the seventh edition of the Project Management Institute's PMBOK (Project Management Institute) to optimize operational management and efficient information management in the electrical installation manufacturing plant.

The study identifies critical problems such as excessively long lead times between processes, dependence on expensive imported inputs, lack of organizational standardization, and serious deficiencies in communication channels between different areas. The methodology employed was qualitative and descriptive, using tools such as structured interviews, targeted surveys, and direct observation to gather valuable information from the work team and analyze existing internal processes. The project was structured in eight sequential phases: a complete business diagnosis, a comprehensive technical and economic feasibility analysis, detailed pre-costing, a thorough study of production times, execution of the comprehensive improvement program, a systematic review of implemented processes, a critical evaluation of initially proposed variables, and the formal completion of the project with complete technical documentation.

Standardized formats and methodological templates based on PMBOK were successfully implemented, including interactive Gantt charts, RACI responsibility matrices, risk management formats, Poka Yoke systems for assembly, and effective communication matrices. The main results include a 20% increase in overall operational efficiency and a significant reduction in costs associated with communication errors and inappropriate procurement of inputs.

The paper concludes that the implementation of adapted PMBOK methodologies allows for more standardized processes, improved communication channels, greater control over activities, and effective tools for strategic decision-making, positioning the company as a competitive leader in the urban mass transit auto parts market and establishing solid foundations for future organizational projects.
