Integração entre Manutenção Produtiva Total (TPM) e Manutenção Centrada na Confiabilidade (RCM)

Abstract

The competitive scenario between industries has developed a number of global methodologies and concepts with the goal of guiding continuous improvement. The following course completion paper is intended to demonstrate the importance of Maintenance. In the area of industrial maintenance, there are a lot of methods, software, models and management tools available. Among them, two methods stand out: RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance), of North American origin, and TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), of Japanese origin. TPM promotes total integration between man, machine and company, where the maintenance of the means of production becomes the responsibility of all. The use of TPM includes the implementation of support pillars, one of them being planned maintenance. However, TPM does not specify the strategy to be followed by planned maintenance. RCM is a logical procedure methodology that aims to establish predictive and preventive maintenance to effectively and efficiently achieve the required safety and reliability levels for each equipment. Considering an environment with TPM already implemented, the objective of this work is to improve the TPM Planned Maintenance pillar by using RCM to guide maintenance strategies in industrial companies.
