A computerized system for maintenance management of assembly lines

Abstract

Organizations are increasingly seeking to improve their efficiency and effectiveness to obtain reliable and high quality product at a lower cost. To achieve this objective, the use of tools that facilitate the acquisition of knowledge about processes is a valuable support. In maintenance, recording data about correc-tive actions is essential to define proactive actions that aim to avoid or mitigate the effects of future failures. Several computer systems are commercially available for maintenance management. However, the degree of suitability of these systems is low, once they do not consider organizations particularities. This paper presents a computer system for collecting and analyzing data from the machines of the production lines of a semicon-ductor company. This project aims to provide the company with a tool adapted to its needs, able to perform a behavioral analysis of all the machines of the production lines based on the systematic record of failures oc-currence and maintenance activities.
