PROPOSAL FOR A MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR LABORATORY EQUIPMENT OF THE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING COURSE AT THE FACULTY EVANGÉLICA DE GOIANESIA

Abstract

MAINTENANCE IS ONE OF THE MOST EVOLVING AREAS, AS IT NEEDS TO KEEP PRODUCTION LEVELS HIGH IN A COMPANY. THUS, STUDIES ON HOW TO CONTROL ASSETS MORE EFFECTIVELY ARE ONE OF THE TARGETS OF THE LITERATURE, WHICH WERE THE SCOPE OF INSTRUCTION FOR THIS WORK. THE NEED TO CREATE A MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR THE EQUIPMENT IN THE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY AT FACULDADE EVANGÉLICA DE GOIAN�SIA AROSE FROM POSSIBLE FAILURES ARISING FROM POOR MANAGEMENT OF THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH EQUIPMENT. AS IT IS NEW EQUIPMENT, IT IS EXPECTED TO OBTAIN POSITIVE RESULTS WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS METHOD OF PREVENTION, WITH THE AIM OF POSTPONING ITS USEFUL LIFE AND ALWAYS SERVING THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY. THUS, A MAINTENANCE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED BASED ON THE EQUIPMENT MANUALS, AS WELL AS THE EXPERIENCES LIVED BY USERS OF THE MACHINERY IN INTERNET FORUMS. MAINTENANCE PLANS COVER A METALLOGRAPHIC CUTTER, AN EMBEDDING PRESS, A POLISHING SANDER, AN HYDRAULIC PRESS, AND A BENCHTOP MILLING AND DRILLING MACHINE. THROUGH THESE DATA, THE PLAN WAS DRAWN, WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITIES, NECESSARY MATERIALS, FREQUENCY, AND THE WAY TO CARRY THEM OUT IS DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE MAINTENANCE SCRIPTS FOR EACH OF THE EQUIPMENT, SHOWING THE ACTIVITIES THAT SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT ACCORDING TO THE SCHEDULE ALREADY DEFINED, DIVIDED INTO DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY, QUARTERLY, SEMIANNUAL AND ANNUAL.
