dc.description.abstract | The maintenance activity is equipment and facilities, is a routine function in most large companies. However, with the growth of automation and mechanization, aspects such as reliability and availability have become key points in terms of competitiveness. This is partly because of the possible shutdown of operations have an impact on costs, the quality and reliability of products and services. Apart from that, the advent of increasingly charging for quality in the execution of services in general and public transport in particular. Similarly, this search for competitiveness precedes a constant search for better levels of efficiency, whether in public or private company. This study, in particular, aims to propose an identification model of the Critical Success Factors (CSF) of the company's maintenance management system Urban Train of Porto Alegre SA (Trensurb) in order to reduce the impact of the performance of maintenance activity on the company's business performance. Even in the sphere of goals, this research built the systemic structure that reflects the model management system Maintenance of Trensurb, allowing us to understand how the variables involved in this context interrelate from Systems Thinking. Still build archetypes that reflect the reality of the modus operandi of the maintenance management of Trensurb system. Finally, it analyzes the structure constructed to identify the FCS - Critical Success Factors (CSF) maintenance management system through Systems Thinking. As identified through the Systems Thinking (PS) that this model serves as an alternative to the usual models of analysis of maintenance management. With the use of qualitative methods, raises a series of relationships between the numerous variables in the performance of maintenance management system. As a result it was possible to identify the area of operation of outsourced maintenance staff, the hiring mix model's own x outsourced maintenance, operational availability, and MKBF - Mean Kilometer Between Failures, correspond to system Success Factors Critical maintenance management of Trensurb. Furthermore, the construction of sustainable maintenance Triad was possible. Being conducted following the precepts of a case study, the research progresses on the critical success factors field of study, not limited to display only a specific approach, but evolves through proposal of a survey methodology for Critical Success Factors with use of Systems Thinking | en |
