Análise da implantação de uma sistemática de manutenção centrada na confiabilidade aplicada para colhedoras de cana de açúcar

Abstract

The sugarcane industry is going through a period of challenges where the need to increase the productivity of equipment and reduce your costs is critical to the survival of a company. In order to improve the assertiveness regarding the maintenance of its sugar cane harvesters, the Automotive Maintenance sector of producing ethanol plants, constantly seeking new concepts and repair and monitoring technologies with application in agricultural machinery, to reduce costs and increase the availability of equipment. In order to test the effectiveness of a maintenance system centered in reliability applied in fundamental active and higher economic value of harvesting sugar cane, the harvester, this study analyzed a real case of implementation occurred at a sugarcane industry. This study used as methodology a quantitative and exploratory research, making a comparison of the results between the four years analyzed, 2011 to 2014.
