Melhoria da disponibilidade na produção de cobre eletrolítico: um estudo de caso em máquina produtora de placas de cátodos

Abstract

In production processes, there are still several reasons for downtime. machines and equipment, which can range from an operational routine activity, exchange shift and even a stop for maintenance, whether weekly or monthly. These stops impact productivity, as equipment works at the border of its productive capacity, causing loss of productivity. Therefore, this article presents the case study whose objective is to propose improvements to increase the availability of a copper plate production machine. It is worth noting that, due to the large number of unscheduled stops due to recurring failures, the system had low performance. The Pareto diagram, PDCA and 5 whys were used as methodology. In the study, a satisfactory result can be observed after the implementation of improvements identified.
