Manutenção preditiva: contribuindo para a melhoria dos processos e para a redução dos custos de operação

Abstract

This work aims at the early evaluation of possible failures in machinery and equipment throughout the production process, determining through analysis the causes and consequences of these, thus directing the maintenance manager to a more coherent decision making, optimizing time and reducing costs. Every company to remain competitive in the globalized market needs thorough monitoring in order to extend the life of its machines and equipment. Every unwanted intervention of machinery and equipment entails a range of future problems that sometimes interrupt the production process. The company researched refers to the control of the productive process using predictive maintenance and its consistent analysis tools to aid in the decision-making of the maintenance team. The main performance of the maintenance team from the point of view of the most critical equipment of the company is directed to the rotary machines specifically pumps, compressors, exhaust fans and centrifugal fans.
