Abstract

The role played by the industrial maintenance, on the industrial development, during several decades has been based on the activities machinery of conservation of, equipment and buildings; the companies contemplate it like generator of expenses, a badly necessary one, and not like an area of strategic opportunity. In this work a "study of cases" appears that contemplates evidences in which test that the maintenance activities are highly creative, that are developed innovation and generate high-priority own technology for the Mexican companies. In the presented/displayed cases one is how the machinery has been modified and the productive processes so that they are more efficient, less time in the processes is consumed, is avoided extended strikes of machinery and equipment and exists less wastes, improving the results or effectiveness of the companies. Thus, one concludes that the maintenance area collaborates so that the companies are more effective and competitive in their respective markets.
