O uso do FMEA como ferramenta de avaliação dos Aspectos e impactos ambientais numa indústria de Microeletrônica.

Abstract

This report is based on applying the tool of Analysis of Failure Modes and Effects (FMEA) with the aim of identifying environmental aspects and practices in the microelectronics industry in the city of Campina Grande – PB. In the theory, shows that there are several tools to carry out works related to environmental management, and that the FMEA can be adapted for this purpose in order to analyze the points at which a company may cause environmental damage and what measures should be taken to mitigate these damage, and then a useful tool for assessing the environmental impacts of production processes. Regarding the methodology used, we conducted a survey characterized as exploratory and descriptive, using the case study. The data were treated qualitatively and quantitatively using the parameters established with the purpose of measuring the environmental impacts, for use with the FMEA tool. Through the application of the tool, we found that the studied company performs various types of disposal of waste chemicals, electronics, packaging and materials used in the production process from its two manufacturing processes, generating 13 different topics and 6 considered of low intensity, 3 medium or moderate and 4 high intensity, among which 2 of the waste and potential impacts are not properly eliminated, 6 are eliminated partially, and 5 are eliminated altogether.
