Aplicação do overall equipment effectiveness no sistema produtivo de uma vinícola

The term efficiency, in general, refers to a result produced with the least observed amount of waste and effort, that is, performing an operation with minimal loss. Therefore, checking the efficiency of the equipment involved in a given process can help to reduce complex problems related to production, also intervening in the analysis of the production system. Thus, this article aimed to apply Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in a production system to monitor and evaluate the situation of the equipment used in the process, highlighting the possible improvements. From the methodological point of view, the present study was classified as a case study, conducted in a company in the wine sector, located in the Integrated Administrative Development Region (RIDE) in Pernambuco. The study showed that the equipment chosen for analysis, the press (OEE = 83.47%) and the two filling machines (69.19% and 69.38%, respectively), can have their performance improved. For this purpose, the action plan functions as a fundamental managerial tool and must have its execution so that the company actually achieves more profit and better quality in the manufactured products. As a major limitation of the study, we can cite the amount of equipment analyzed, given that the company has a wide combination of these. In addition, the verification of the values was performed in only one month, therefore, for future studies, the analysis and comparison of the values per month is recommended.
