Estudo das manutenções periódicas civis da central hidrelétrica Itaipu, com estabelecimento de possíveis indicadores

Abstract

The productivity of a company in the electrical sector is very dependent on the performance of its equipment. To this end, maintenance activities are highly emphasized in the management of companies, based on structured processes and well-defined indicators. Civil maintenance does not have specific indicators and those traditionally used in the maintenance area are generally not suitable for analysis of civil structures and facilities. The present work sought to identify appropriate indicators for the maintenance management in the civil area, based on the literature on maintenance concepts and the use of indicators. We also studied the maintenance area of Itaipu Binacional, a company that generates electric power with its characteristics and particularities. To obtain answers to the presented problem, the data of the civil preventive and corrective maintenances of Itaipu Binacional were analyzed. With the information obtained from the analysis of maintenance history, added to the concepts raised in the theoretical framework, it was possible to identify some flaws in the process and possibilities for improvement. Finally, the suggestion of some indicators is presented, which can help the control and decision making of the civil maintenance of the Plant.
