Resumen de El cambio tecnológico y los sistemas hidráulicos de la industria de laminación. Metodología y elaboración de propuestas
The iron and steel industry has evolved its technologies in the way to compete by building one of the key sectors in the economy world-wide. This study describes the difficulty involved in the development of an innovating process that would solve well known problems identified in this sector. The reason for this situation is explained in this work through the description of the structural reasons that motivate it. Providing companies in this sector that have facilitated the change studied in this case have not initiated the necessary dynamics for the resolution of the problem, which is an integration of capacities of all the companies covered in this study could open a technological trajectory that might solve the problem, problem that is reviewed here and explained with greater detail in this thesis. The contamination of the fluid in hydraulic systems is a deficiency that has generated a loss of production in the iron and steel industry. This problem has been analyzed for years from a certain perspective which seems to be mainly under a technical conception, and it is stll not known that a radical improvement has been applied to diminish the damages entirely. Applying the general theory of the systems of Bertalanffy (1991), this research tries to approach the problem with an integral vision of it, and exposes ponts of view from different layers or this sector levels. At the beginning this study focuses on the iron and steel sector globally, afterwards it goes to the level of manufacture plants and its units of lamination studies, until it reaches the inferior levels, as those of the hydraulic systems engineers, to finally cover each one of its components individually and with its interrelations, which is where the problem of contamination takes place, that is, within the hydraulic systems used in the steel sector.
