Estudo de caso do processo de manutenção de colhedoras de cana-de-açúcar de uma usina de bioenergia

Abstract

Due to the agricultural mechanization process in the bioenergy sector, it is seen the increase of the productivity and competitivity between the companies. The use of complex machinery brought the need to develop the automotive maintenance sector with new strategies and tools, as the reliability centered maintenance, optimizing the sector activities. The use of new strategies should be studied, in order to obtain the maintenance team objectives. In this way, this work presents a case study, explaining the concepts and applying the analysis of maintenance indexes obtained from data of five sugarcane harvesters, from a bioenergy company. Failure distribution models and reliability studies are presented, identifying critical components of the equipment’s and showing strategies to prevent not programmed failures of these components, allowing a better performance of the equipment.
