Contribuição metodológica para a determinação da criticidade de equipamentos na gestão da manutenção

Abstract

This work aimed to develop an alternative methodology to determine the criticality of equipments in factories, in order to contribute in guiding managers involved in the activities of planning and control systems maintenance (PCM). The methodology consisted in considering modifications of existing models and procedures found in the literature, as well as consideration of new criteria for assessing criticality, aiming its calculation of quantitative and qualitative minor deviations from the information collected. The new procedure was applied and tested in two Brazilian companies, one dedicated to mining and other to foods activities, getting more results adjusted to the reality of companies under study when compared with those presented from the previously existing methods. Regarding the authors analyzed the model presented greater concordance with the criteria already used in the business of the food industry. Finally, aiming at further improvements, the new procedure was analyzed to compile their practical demands and vulnerabilities.
