Melhoramento dos procedimentos de manutenção e dos sistemas de produção no trabalho na ERMOTO LDA

Abstract

Maintenance is one of the key and fundamental factors for the economic development and growth of large companies. When well executed, it inspires quality in production, creates motivation within the production team, and increases competition among large industries. Machines or equipment are subject to breakdowns, corrosion, and other undesirable processes during their long operational life, and for them to operate healthily throughout their longevity, they must undergo maintenance to function in their best and perfect conditions. Throughout their functional life, machines undergo scheduled routine suspensions, parts replacement, repairs, oil changes or lubrication, defect correction, cleaning, and others; all these processes are considered maintenance. These processes are not carried out simultaneously; they require a maintenance plan for their procedure according to the demands or requirements that the machine presents. The main objective of this work is to study and propose the best maintenance plan for the machines and tools used at ERMOTA LDA, focusing on the causes of machine downtime and malfunctions. This study is based on the work reality, operations, and productive and financial objectives achieved at ERMOTA LDA. Based on the analyses, we recommend some auxiliary procedures related to the operational procedures for the company's machines and tools.
