Identificação de possíveis falhas de uma máquina enchedora utilizando o FMEA de sistema

Abstract

Every year the global market has been proving to be more competitive, not just only through the frequent innovative product insertion but also with a large variety of similar products from different manufactures. This contest provides de consumer the possibility of choosing the product that more pleases it and forces manufacturers to search for competitive differentials looking for the delivery of products with lower prices and higher qualities. In this context, the present work seeks to apply the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis in a soda filler machine that is in the product design phase. This tool shows to be an efficient device to identify the possible failure modules that a filler machine could present causing some damage at packaging or to the liquid product during the filling process which would cause dissatisfaction of the final customer of the beverage. In addition, to measure the level of severity of possible failures, the risk in a severity index, occurrence and detection were acceded.To conclude the analysis, it was possible to define which tests and measurements must be performed at the construction stage of the product’s prototype to minimize or even eliminate all failure modules before they occur.
