Abstract

The study presented in this paper aims to identify the practices of maintenance organization and management adopted by companies in the industrial pole of Manaus in Brazil in relation to their production equipment. A questionnaire was developed and sent to the company of the industrial pole and the received data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. This survey shows that companies have several opportunities to make improvements related to maintenance management, such as adopting preventive culture, using adequate CMMS to support maintenance activities with associated failure analysis tools, and adopting meaningful KPIs.
