Estudo de caso: aplicações e benefícios da manutenção autônoma em uma indústria frigorífica de aves

Abstract

Continuous improvement programs, such as TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), have increasingly gained ground in the industrial sphere in the search for excellence by reducing losses/waste and improving efficiency and productivity. Autonomous maintenance is applied as the main focus in operators' activities, through the development of their skills and knowledge, enabling assistance in identifying, preventing failures and maintaining equipment. This work demonstrates a case study of the autonomous maintenance program in a food industry producing products of animal origin located in the Southwest region of the state of Paraná, more specifically in the city of Matelândia – PR. The main objective was to describe all application stages, namely, application of training to qualify operators, carrying out technical cleaning in order to highlight and prevent possible causes of machine downtime and control of mechanical anomaly labels. Additionally, this work aimed to optimize and control processes through dashboards to analyze data relating to maintenance costs and mainly highlight their benefits for the company. It is considered that the development of these tools had a positive impact on equipment cost indicators in order to control possible waste in the industry.
