ANÁLISE DOS RESULTADOS DA IMPLANTAÇÃO DO TPM EM CENTRÍFUGAS DE AÇÚCAR: UM ESTUDO DE CASO EM UMA USINA EAB

Abstract

This study presents a case study conducted at a sugar-energy mill, specifically in the sugar production plant. The objective is to analyze the operational gains resulting from the implementation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). The research sought to verify the increase in preventive maintenance orders compared to emergency orders, identify the reduction in operational costs, and propose improvements in the availability records of the centrifuges. Quality tools such as the Pareto Diagram, Scatter Plot, Brainstorming, 5W2H, and Check Sheet were used to organize and interpret the data. The results showed an approximate 345% increase in preventive maintenance, along with a 60% reduction in emergency orders. Additionally, a checklist was proposed to help monitor centrifuge availability and serve as a technical justification when the daily sugar production target is not met.
