Proposta de implantação do Planejamento e Controle da Manutenção (PCM) em uma empresa de cerâmica vermelha: um estudo de caso

Abstract

The rising need to improve the efficiency of production systems combined with market competitiveness has driven companies to increasingly seek the optimization of their resources. Among the strategies used for this purpose are the techniques aimed at improving maintenance management. This, in turn, has the main function of guaranteeing the availability of equipment, preventing failures, and managing resources. Based on this context, the present work aims to propose the implementation of Maintenance Planning and Control (MPC) functions in a company in the red ceramic sector, located in Tabuleiro do Norte/CE. To this end, a survey of the main concepts in the literature was carried out, through the bibliographic study, in addition to visits and interviews, through a questionnaire, to understand and collect information about the production process, its equipment, and the current maintenance situation in the company. Concerning the study, it is descriptive and exploratory research, with na applied nature, whose method is the case study. As a result, it was possible to verify the main problems faced by the organization about maintenance and based on that, to suggest a set of specific functions of maintenance planning and control, which together will seek to provide better management of the sector.
