APLICAÇÃO DA OEE NO PROCESSO DE TREFILAÇÃO DE COBRE

Abstract

Every company seeks in its manufacturing process to increase the productive efficiency of its equipment through actions aimed at improving processes, reducing operating times and, consequently, reducing operational waste. In this context, this work addresses the use of OEE (Global Equipment Efficiency) as a performance measurement tool in the drawing process, demonstrating the positive impacts it provides. Through an analysis it was detected over time that the performance indicators of the process did not prove to be totally reliable, due to this, we saw the opportunity to apply this tool to better visualize the losses and obtain a better performance. The objective of this theoretical study is to prove that, through the implementation of the OEE, it is possible to identify the real losses of the process, reduce unproductive times and generate an increase in efficiency in the copper drawing process.
