O impacto da manutenção preventiva das máquinas de produção do bath de alumínio na Motrabro/ Bathco Moçambique

Abstract

Maintenance must work to maintain the full operation of the machines involved in the aluminum bath production system and, therefore, only the adoption of an approach that is ideal for the company, in the sense of being aligned with its particularities, mission and vision, will guarantee greater adherence and meeting of maintenance-related expectations. Maintenance actions must be strategically planned, according to SOUZA (2008, p. 20), "to ensure correct equipment operations and to obtain the highest possible availability from the equipment, i.e. sustaining the system without diverting the objective of increasing revenue (profitability)". Modern maintenance is not restricted solely to corrective action but, on the contrary, is fundamentally linked to the management of industrial assets, guaranteeing availability and reliability at a reduced cost and, therefore, having a direct impact on the company's operating results.Determining the ideal strategic maintenance management means studying and delving into the variables related to the production process and management characteristics of the most diverse companies, and is therefore no trivial task. It would be difficult to find a standard that could be said to be the best. However, the technical study of maintenance, combined with a survey of best practices, can open up a range of information, standards and practices that make it possible to state what the "State of the Art" of Modern Maintenance is and how it can be achieved and implemented in the industrial sector. Thus, the main aim of this work is to suggest and outline the stages of maintenance planning in the industrial sector, with the aim of making the sector a strategic part of company management and a competitive differentiator for the company.
