I was hired during the construction stage to guarantee the adequacy of equipment from the Cia Siderurgica do Atlantico (CSA) to the NR13 (Brazilian regulation for Pressure Vessels and Boilers) and worked with national and international subcontractors, such as Jaraguá, Dedini, Outotec, Spring Carrier, Oschatz, Kawasaki, Alstom, among others.
Since the startup of the plant, I have worked in the guarantee and quality of the maintenance services, in the risks management and in the economic viability studies.
I worked in the inspection of multidisciplinary maintenance services, performed by a subcontractor, at the polyethylene plant, from the planning stage to the execution, by an appropriate follow up in the field and by means of indexes.
I coordinated the shutdowns for maintenance at the plant, ensuring its startup as established by the operation.
The main result achieved here was the organization of the shutdowns by a better detailing of activities, by the optimization of resources, by the previous materials’ selection, by the elaboration of an efficient responsibility matrix and by the in loco follow up, which resulted in the decrease of extra hours and in the conclusion of the shutdown activities in a more stable manner.
Coursework in a Master of Business Administration in Project Management program teaches students to use technology to achieve cost-effective results. Programs commonly cover timelines and business environments, and students learn to plan, monitor and adapt projects. By completing projects, individuals may also gain skills in motivating others, problem-solving, directing projects and budgeting.
Industrial engineers (IEs) apply science, mathematics, and engineering methods to complex system integration and operations. Because these systems are so large and complex, IEs need to have knowledge and skills in a wide variety of disciplines, the ability to work well with people, and a broad, systems perspective. Industrial engineers use their knowledge and skills to improve systematic processes through the use of statistical analysis, interpersonal communication, design, planning, quality control, operations management, computer simulation, and problem-solving.
