Atividades desenvolvidas durante estágio supervisionado na Acumuladores Moura S.A.

Abstract

The automotive battery is an electric accumulator that accumulates energy in the chemical form, and later converts it into electrical energy. For this process to work efficiently, it is very important to know the quality of its components and its manufacturing process. These factors are decisive and differentiate the quality between one battery and another in the market. Moura is one of the largest battery companies in South America, currently equipping more than 50% of the new cars circulating in Brazil. The activities carried out in the integrated internship were carried out at Acumuladores Moura S.A. - Unit 01, located in the city of Belo Jardim - PE, 180 km from the capital Recife. The internship took place in the period between May 2018 and February 2019. In Moura Matriz Process Engineering, it was possible to use knowledge acquired during the course of Electrical Engineering in the application in the lead-acid battery industry. The process of battery manufacturing was known, focusing on the process of charging and finishing batteries. The daily practical experience during the internship period has contributed significantly to professional training, The daily practical experience during the traineeship period contributed significantly to professional training, working to support battery production and, among several functions: the preparation and modification of documents, the search for opportunities that can reduce costs and increase profits and productivity, processes improvement projects, using the WCM methodology and applying tools such as PDCA, monitoring of process standards, standardization of production processes, control of process parameters, adapting them to the needs required for the product and the constraints imposed by the productive environment, ensuring the excellence of product quality in order to satisfy the customer.
