MANUTENÇÃO INDUSTRIAL: proposta e aplicação de um modelo de Manutenção Autônoma

Abstract

This paper describes the importance of maintaining machines and equipment in the management of a company. Such an approach is necessary because good maintenance guarantees the reliability and safety of the equipment, it offers less risk to those who operate and reduces costs avoiding waste. The objective of this study is to demonstrate how the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), with the application of the autonomous maintenance, is a very relevant resource and must be taken into account, since it can detect irregularities in machines and equipment during its operation. This purpose was reached by means of a theoretical analysis through the literature review, using books and articles published concerning the maintenance of machines and equipment, as well as the application of autonomous maintenance in a specific machine of a metal structures factory. The research showed that the TPM of machines and equipment, through autonomous maintenance, promotes a greater interaction between the operator and the machine, enabling it to predict and anticipate actions to avoid the occurrence of an unexpected stop.
