APLICAÇÃO DA MANUTENÇÃO AUTÔNOMA NA BUSCA DA PERDA ZERO

Abstract

Within a production process, there are numerous problems related to product quality that can be cited as an example, problems in finishing the final product, in the absence of dimensional accuracy, improper painting, visual differences or those visible only through specific devices for analysis among others. Against this backdrop, some quality problems are directly or indirectly related to the equipment involved in the production process and consequently the conservation status of which is the responsibility of the industrial maintenance sector. You can deal with these problems in several ways. One is through the deployment of a tool called Total Productive Maintenance or Total Productive Maintenance TPM better known, composed of eight steps or pillars that directed the production sector in pursuit of its total production capacity in a way that ensures the final product quality and consequent customer satisfaction. Between these steps there is a call Autonomous Maintenance which is nothing more than enabling the operator to take care of your machine in a systematic and controlled way, allowing reduce and even avoid unexpected breakdowns and inefficiencies productive for any reason involving the conservation of the equipment. We will present a case study where the deployment of Autonomous Maintenance help reduce and control some equipment failures pilot in a particular productive sector of a metallurgical company, increasing their availability to the organization and bringing a considerable increase in profits and success ahead its competitors.
