Análise da viabilidade de elaboração de planos de manutenção utilizando ferramentas da MCC

Abstract

Companies always searchs the best performance by costs even more competitives. One of the alternatives for the companies is the reduction of their costs, especially those linked to the production. Therefore, its necessary take into account not only the mainly functions, but also the support functions, in order to align them with continuous improvement of the organization. In this context, there is the industrial maintenance, which, in many cases, represents a large part of costs that can be avoided, especially with corrective maintenance. Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and its tools have great potential to serve as input to prepar maintenance plans for companies. This study aimed to analyze if it’s feasible to prepare maintenance plans for a group of machines to a machining sector of a small company using RCM tools. Through failure analyses and availability calculations of the machining sector’s equipment, it was found that the organization structure of that kind of company still don’t offers enough data to elaborate a maintenance plan for its equipaments.
