Aplicação de RCM no processo de manutenção de uma linha de extrusão de não tecido

Abstract

The Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a maintenance technique that has been adopted in several companies in the world. It consists of the implementation of a systems-based maintenance in the possible failures and functionality of a piece of equipment of a production line. This makes obtain an increase in the availability and machine reliability, reduced losses, best condition for production planning among other advantages. Aiming to increase the profitability of production, this work is the application of the RCM concept in an extrusion unit of a nonwoven production line. From the survey and analysis of equipment failure history a study was conducted to identify what types (preventive, predictive and corrective) and frequency most appropriate maintenance for each type of equipment in the production line and with the support of machine manuals and staff was raised what possible flaws present in each equipment. When done the crossing of previously reported data prioritized form (features) with the cost of maintenance and the cost of a machine breakage, can be determined a systematic maintenance for online study with a high degree of reliability and quality. Consequently the implementation of such a project increases the profit margin per kilogram produced and also extends the life of the equipment. Another considerable gain you get is an improvement in working conditions for the company's maintenance sector, for reducing the number of failures and increasing the quality of preventive maintenance, you can work in a more planned and organized manner.
