Applied autonomous maintenance in the improvement of production quality: A case study
Descrição
The global scenario of the major economic developed countries is a reflection of technological advances making companies competing
and strategists. The objective of this paper is to analyze the current maintenance situation at the company studied, identifying technical
actions with immediate results and implementing the Autonomous Maintenance (MA) to improve the performance of a white line
production process in a company at the Industrial Pole of Manaus. It was achieved with this, to identify the problem in its early stages
and encourage the operator to have a closer relationship with his process by detecting and resolving the possible failures. The data used
were obtained from the company during the period from December 2015 until July 2016, and are related to stops identified by a leak
detector. The applied methods are the qualitative and quantitative approach. The information was obtained from employees of the
assembly line area, production leaders and representatives of maintenance, through questionnaires, obtained from data files (document
analysis) and a history of reports of problems. The results achieved are: the application of the MA in the company, the increase in
productivity; reducing the stop time of the production line, the availability of maintenance personnel to solve other problems, greater
involvement of operators with their activity, less time in the implementation of equipment maintenance; greater involvement between
maintenance and production. These improvements turned the company more competitive and sustainable.
