Organização e Gestão da Manutenção

Basic knowledge is transversal, especially from fundamental sciences and some areas of specialization within the course, in order to allow students a comprehensive view for understanding and applying the broad spectrum of Industrial Maintenance.

The teaching methodology is as follows:

• Presentation of topics by the Professor;
• Study visits;
• Lectures by professionals from the business sector;
• Student presentations of program topics, supported by:

– Course bibliography and indexed scientific journals;
– AI tools;
– Discussion and analysis of exercises and practical cases.

The objectives and skills that the student should develop in this course unit are as follows:

• Knowing how to work in a Maintenance department, especially in the preparation and control of planned and unplanned Work Orders;
• Knowing how to communicate with the various departments of the organization that interact with the maintenance department;
• Knowing how to identify the most appropriate solutions for condition-based and predictive maintenance, such as those based on variables of temperature, pressure, vibrations, among others, according to the nature of each Physical Asset;
• Knowing how to develop a framework of indicators to support the management of maintenance and the organization in general;
• Knowing how to implement Organization and Management solutions based on a Lean approach;
• Knowing how to proactively seek concrete solutions to real maintenance problems.

The Assessment has two evaluation methods: Exam; Continuous distributed assessment.
The distributed assessment throughout the contact period will have a weighting factor of 40% in the Final Assessment, dispensing with the resolution of questions corresponding to eight points in the Final Exam.
The student will have to decide and inform in writing whether they wish to adhere to the continuous distributed assessment method; if they do not do so by the end of the fourth week of class, they are automatically included in the exclusive assessment method by final exam.
The continuous/distributed assessment method requires:
• Minimum attendance of 70% in Theoretical and Theoretical-Practical classes.
• The completion of assignments, their respective presentation and defense, and other materials requested throughout the semester;
• Assignments can be individual or in groups, and will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
o Quality of content;
o Quality of presentation.
• For the evaluation, questions formulated by students during classes will be considered; Questions asked by students in class must be submitted in writing at the end of class, on a sheet of paper, with the student's name and number, duly signed.

The evaluation of the questions takes into account the following criteria:
 Relevance;

 Quality.

The exclusive evaluation by exam is done in the form of a written test (0-20) points, with a maximum duration of three hours.

Students who opt for this type of evaluation will have to justify the reasons for this choice in advance.

Students who obtain a grade higher than 16, in any of the evaluation periods, must take an oral exam to defend their grade.

Exams suspected of fraud may be subject to an oral exam.

During the exams, students may not possess cell phones, so-called smart watches, glasses with integrated electronic devices, or any other electronic device other than a calculator and a simple watch. Students must ensure that they hand over all prohibited devices to the teacher before the start of the exam.

The mere finding of a violation of the aforementioned rules implies the immediate annulment of the written exam, with consequent notification to a higher authority for disciplinary proceedings for fraud, as well as the non-assignment of a grade to the Course Unit, in accordance with Article 31-A of the Academic Regulations for the 1st Cycle of Studies at IPC, published in Order No. 9859/2022, of August 9th.
