Proposta de manutenção autônoma para máquinas de olaria

Abstract

Maintenance of machinery in industries is crucial to ensure process efficiency and productivity. However, many companies face challenges related to inadequate maintenance, resulting in frequent production downtime. This study aims to propose autonomous maintenance to reduce machine downtime in pottery production processes. The methodology adopted encompasses applied qualitative research, with an exploratory approach based on action research. Data collection involves literature review, observation, Total Productive Maintenance event, and document analysis. The analysis revealed that inadequate maintenance is one of the main factors contributing to downtime. Active participation of employees, along with literature review and in-depth analysis of the pottery reality, resulted in recommendations tailored to the company. These recommendations include implementing autonomous maintenance checklists for machines to enhance operations and reduce production interruptions.
