13.6.1 Results achieved

The objective of this work was to analyze the maintenance management
system and its optimization through nebulous logic for the development of
an intelligent system of support and decision-making for an ideal load dis-
patch demand.
The interface of the developed computational tool achieved the simplicity
desired by the users themselves, as well as the ease of learning in their
operation. According to the facts presented in this paper, it was possible to
show that, currently, a predictive maintenance program and a total mainte-
nance program are indispensable for large companies. This is to provide reli-
ability to processes and equipment, detecting problems still in the initial
phase. Programs of this type provide good maintenance planning for the
maintenance industry. Thus, the company grows with regard to meeting
deadlines, resulting in an increase in customer satisfaction.
In the present study, the gains from the two plans mentioned earlier could
be assessed based on the information from the case study, we verified the
reduction of corrective maintenance and we verified the results with the
increase of the MTBF and the decrease of the MTTR. The observed case can
be implemented in any power generation machine that uses the fuel oil and,
consequently, the use of oil stock, independent of the tank capacity and storage
tank scales, which have only the standards of this system. The case study pre-
sented here can be implemented in any thermoelectric plant, independent of the
loads to be dispatched, since the variables of this system are common to all.
