Proposta de medidas para melhorar o sistema de manutenção dos autocarros da EMTPM

Abstract

When a machine or piece of equipment breaks down due to failure, the cost generated is the amount of the maintenance costs plus the costs caused by the lack of production. This work consists of proposing measures to improve the bus maintenance system at the Empresa Municipal de Transportes Rodoviários de Maputo (EMTPM) in order to reduce unscheduled corrective maintenance, bus breakdowns while the bus is in service, waiting time for maintenance or maintenance, and consequently reduce the costs generated by maintenance. These measures were proposed on the basis of the deficiencies and irregularities that were observed during the internship at this company. The main deficiency found in the field is the lack of spare parts in sufficient quality and quantity to replace worn and damaged parts in the vehicles, thus guaranteeing their availability. The proposal for mitigating anomalies and consequently improving the bus maintenance system consists of the following measures: compliance with the vehicle manufacturer's manuals, issuing work order files, renovating the general workshop facilities, carrying out daily inspections, acquiring spare parts of recognized quality and in sufficient quantities, and also acquiring tools and work equipment.
