Application of the FMEA methodology to material-handling equipment management in the ceramic industry, reducing operating cost per work hour from R$23.56 in 2023 to R$13.40 in 2025.
Bruno Teixeira Barros
This study presents a structured approach to estimating wheel consumption for EFVM rolling assets using reliability tools applied to actual operation and maintenance data. The analysis begins with systematic…
Edimilson Silva
The SIC – Integrated Reliability System is an initiative developed to transform operational and maintenance data into clear, visual and actionable information for industrial decision-making. The system consolidates,…
Eduardo Felipe Andrade Gonsalves
This study details the application of Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) methodology to critical equipment in the tailings-filtration plant of Gerdau’s Itabiritos Project. Given increasing regulatory requirements…
Fábio Augusto Calixto Modesto
This paper aims to evaluate and optimize the maintenance strategy for the pelletizing-disc circuit of a pelletizing plant, focusing on reducing maintenance costs, optimizing labor-hour demand and meeting the…
Gilberto Barbosa Lima Filho
To establish strategic MTBF and MTTR targets for 2026 for the Salobo plant and crushing processes, a study was conducted based on the history of maintenance events using the NIC (Occurrence Index Number) for 2023,…
Julio Cesar Pereira
This work aims to establish a shutdown-scope recommendation process by the reliability team, focusing on assets with the greatest potential impact on Physical Availability and MTBF in pelletizing plants. These assets…

FMEA RCM
Luiz Fernando Oliveira Ramos
Study conducted during the design stage of a dry claw vacuum pump that will be installed in a chemical plant producing active ingredients for agricultural formulations. FMEA and RCM methods were used, with risk…
Milton Teles Neto
This study presents the application of quantitative reliability tools to ore reclaimers and loading silos (train load out – TLO) at Vale’s S11D unit, with the objective of changing the interval between…
Rackel Katherine Ravaiole Barbosa Lima
This paper develops an offline HTML dashboard integrated with structured prompts to support construction and analysis of the reliability-loss profile on a simulated platform. The solution standardizes the entry,…
Ronaldo Bicalho Torres
This paper explores the application of Game Theory, particularly the Prisoner’s Dilemma, to Asset Management by analyzing the strategic conflict between Maintenance Planning and Control (PCM) and Production Planning…
Thales Moran
This paper presents how the pragmatic implementation of an Asset Management Plan (AMP) increased the reliability of a Pre-Salt FPSO and strengthened organizational culture, even without a formal Asset Management…
Thiago Borges Pierini
Raw-water supply to an oil refinery is fundamental to its operation and, because of the logistics involved, 13.8 kV distribution networks are often used to supply water-intake pumps located away from the unit. The…
Victória Camilly Costa Sampaio
This paper presents adherence to MTA (Machine Touch Application) inspection, a structured visual inspection used by Komatsu to identify anomalies, wear and maintenance-backlog items on mining equipment, highlighting…
Walter da Conceição José
The growing complexity of industrial assets and the need for greater operational reliability require more robust methods for maintenance and spare-parts inventory management. This paper presents the integrated…
Willian Dias Duarte
With the objective of supporting maintenance management through a data-driven approach, an analytical solution was implemented beginning in July 2025 to provide reliable quantitative information for decision-making…
