PROPOSTA DE MELHORIA NA EFICIÊNCIA DA MANUTENÇÃO EM VIATURAS MILITARES DA ESCOLA DE SARGENTOS DAS ARMAS

Abstract

This work proposes a more efficient maintenance plan, focused on the vision of quality management and productivity involving military vehicles of “Escola de Sargentos das Armas”. This approach has the purpose of presenting a bigger availability of vehicles, since ESA has certain difficulties in its maintenance sector. Therefore, the high rates of equipment failures and the low availability of vehicles in relation to the existing amount become an obstacle in the life of the servicemen in the accomplishment of several missions, resulting in excessive and unnecessary expenses. The purpose of this research is to improve the availability of vehicles acting in a preventative and predictive way, causing a reduction of damages that leads to unwanted casualties of the vehicles, promoting economy and collaborating with the institution in the formation of the Army career combatant Sergeant. This ain will be achieved through the creation of a methodology for the implementation of a maintenance planning and control that is best configured with “Escola de Sargentos das Armas”, considering that this is a teaching institution, not a company aimed at narrowing competition and competitiveness, but rather to generate economy to the public funds and to facilitate the life of the servicemen in the fulfillment of the mission. The study showed that the current way of vehicle maintenance is not efficient, causing excessive expenses due to the big demand for corrective maintenance, motivated by the large number of existing vehicles in relation to human resources, requiring the insertion of a more efficient planning and control for the school maintenance team. Military organizations are very demanding about conservation the materials under their responsibility. The problem found refers to the increase of 300% of the light operational vehicles distributed to the ESA, at the same time that there were no changes in the maintenance crew. According to the factors presented, it is essential to propose a more efficient maintenance plan, since the old methods can not keep up with the great demand that the school itself demands, since the missions have increased in proportion to the number of vehicles.
