Abstract:
At ArcelorMittal Tubarão FCLatam (Flat Carbon Latin America) asset management was implemented through the 5 Star Asset Management Program, the implementation process of which in the Continuous Casting Operation will be explained in this article. This program has evolved over the years, promoting new themes that can contribute to asset management. The program seeks the continuous evolution of reliability, quality and sustainability in Continuous Casting machines at ArcelorMittal Tubarão. The implementation of the 5 Star Operations Program is aligned with the company's strategic planning in the flat steel segment. Managing all these operational activities in a large industry is a task of extreme importance for the business results, but quite challenging, given the high number of employees involved and the level
of technical responsibility for the activities in question. To ensure adequate execution in terms of method, frequency, responsibilities, adequate recording, assertiveness in tasks, it is essential to guarantee an efficient management system with this focus. In this context, the 5 Star Program was applied to the operation management of Continuous Casting at ArcelorMittal Tubarão to improve the management of the operation process as a whole. The methodology applied is based on maturity levels (fundamental, intermediate and advanced), where each level has supporting pillars. Some examples of pillars are: training, standardization, operation plans (PGO), H&S and environment, alarm and failure management, roles and responsibilities, variable cost, autonomous maintenance, asset use, operational efficiency, reaching advanced pillars such as risk management, supply chain, new technologies, interface management (Stakeholders) and human reliability
