Plano de manutenção de um engenho de arroz: estudo da utilização do software SIGMA

Abstract

The importance of maintaining the company goes beyond cost savings, these days it is crucial to success, since a proper maintenance plan adds value to the product and is shown with a gap in the market. This paper presents a proposal for a maintenance plan in a rice processing company, aiming to understand the procedures used in maintenance in the company studied, seeking ways to evaluate the methods used in comparison with the existing literature. This work was guided by research with theoretical frameworks, examples of other companies, case studies and interviews with workers in the maintenance area, so we tried to learn the ways to develop the most suitable for an agribusiness plan, since there is little reference on the matter, leaving the question, if companies do not prioritize maintenance or if this practice is not very widespread. The methodology used is a case study, having a form as a tool for data collection on the studied company. To support this proposition was named the SIGMA software, because it is a program with great features and a graphical user interface for easy access. It is expected that the maintenance plan is implemented by the company and which may contribute to their maintenance management. This work has enabled the company's equipment were registered and it was created a history of maintenance, where parts replaced and repairs performed could be analyzed later, both for proposing improvements, and for the replacement of certain equipment. The objective of the proposed maintenance plan was achieved, whereas with the registration of equipment, parts, labor, and work shifts was possible to issue work orders from the program, thus, began the process of record of failures and maintenance of equipment, which, with the formation of a database, will work for an appropriate adjustment in predicting maintenance on various equipment.
