Control estadístico del consumo de agua en la Universidad del Atlántico: diseño sistema de monitoreo sistema de gestión ambiental

Abstract

Recently, there has been a worrying decrease in the water resources sources for human consumption, many factors are the cause of their deterioration and high industrial, agricultural and daily consumption activities in large populations, for the latter, the Universidad del Atlántico manages this resource through the Environmental Management System; this study presents the statistical control in the water consumption by buildings in the institution; Control chart designs were made for each building during a term as historical data, which were then used to compare, through the parametric measurements used in the individual measurements charts, the present controls in the water consumption. By using statistical control, it was possible to show alterations in water consumption to check potential leaks and justify the variability’ causes to interventions of works in some buildings and recommendations were given of mechanisms to be implemented for the control of the consumption of the precious liquid.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar el control estadístico en el consumo del agua por bloques en la institución; se realizaron diseños de cartas de control por cada bloque durante un semestre como datos históricos, los cuales se usaron luego para comparar, mediante las medidas paramétricas usadas en las cartas de mediciones individuales, los controles presentes en el consumo de agua. Usando el control estadístico se logró evidenciar alteraciones en el consumo de agua con lo que se realizaron inspecciones de posibles fugas, lo cual justificó las causas de variabilidad a intervenciones de obras en algunos bloques y se dieron recomendaciones de mecanismos a implementar para el control del consumo del preciado líquido.
