Gestão industrial: implementação da ferramenta TPM em uma indústria de café

Abstract

The constant search for process improvement and operational efficiency is the constant reality of industries. And the TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) methodology is important for delivering results, that is, it contributes to this muchdesired improvement. Based on these considerations, this study encourages the application of the 5S program that aimed to eliminate waste, and visual pollution and reduce time in operational tasks to facilitate the implementation of the TPM methodology, which in turn, the focus is on the pillar of Autonomous Maintenance, which aimed to train and perform people in the visible improvement of breakdowns, failures and defects in machines and equipment to improve their operational efficiency. The OEE indicator was used for the efficiency of the production process through machine monitoring. It is concluded that this study brought improvement in the production process, such as operator training, organization and standardization of the factory layout, elimination of excessive efforts, and reduction of waste, as an example machine stoppage for a long period. This study opens up several opportunities to motivate researchers to consider the application of the 5S and TPM methodology in their specific research areas to improve the production process.
