Maintenance is one of the most rapidly expanding activities in the industrial environment, since its application is no longer limited to simple, regular fixes. In the case of thermal power plants maintenance is essential, since they only operate when the National Electric System Operator wants them to complement the production from renewable sources such as hydro, wind, and solar. To limit the frequency of failures that result in generation unavailability, the operation team performs daily inspections to evaluate the equipment’s condition and the risks to the generating process. If an anomaly is found, the maintenance team will create service notes to address it. This research aims to demonstrate how the method Measuring Attractiveness by a Category-Based Evaluation Technique (Macbeth) can be applied to the development of a multiple-criterion model to support decision making in ordering the criticality of systems in thermal plant operational inspection routes to propose new methodologies for routine execution to increase the operation team’s productivity. According to the results of the judgement matrix, the recommended ordering enabled a strategy for the performance of the current operational routes by redefining the criticality, periodicity, routing, and resources utilised, hence preserving the plant’s reliability. According to the results, the proposed ranking will enable a new strategy for integrated maintenance planning, redefining the criticality of service orders according to the judgement based on criteria and subcriteria, thereby allowing the application of resources appropriately and focusing on what is more important to maintain the thermal power plant’s continuity and operational safety.

“…Researchers agree about the role of training to test competences in real-time operations (NUUTINEN, 2005;LOVEDAY et al, 2013). However, the necessity of integrating technical knowledge and behavioral competencies is not clear in traditional studies (VIGNOCHI et al, 2015).…”

“…In the scienti c literature on the topic may be found an extensive list of speci c competencies needed to be able to perform real-time operations (NUUTINEN, 2005;CUKALEVSKI et al, 2012;LOVEDAY et al, 2013;VIGNOCHI et al, 2015). Technical competencies, such as formal knowledge and cognitive capacity to solve problems (memory, attention, and diagnostic capacity, for example) are the most emphasized by traditional training methods (U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY TRAINING, 1994).…”

The real-time operators act on phenomena characterized by uncertainty, incomplete information, time pressure, unexpected events, and security threat. Emergency and urgent situations demand rapid and effective decisions. This is the case of hospital emergencies, fire brigades, air traffic control, nuclear plants control, and power system operation. It requires the development of behavioral skills in training programs. This paper aims to describe how to develop a method to training programs for real-time operators. Steps and the tools to develop a training method were presented. Experts of the Brazilian Power System Operator Company evaluated the method. Results point to a method focused on power system operators with six key steps namely, Problem Analysis, Context Analysis, Identify Training Needs, Choose Training Techniques, Training Program Structure, and Evaluation. The simulation was the main tool, followed by a behavioral observatory based on roleplay. Test and apply the method to other types of real-time operations is needed to improve the proposed method.
