Avaliação do risco ambiental utilizando FMEA em um laticínio na região de Lavras-MG

Abstract

A methodology has been gradually used in environmental risk assessment during the production process is the FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis), defined as a search tool that in principle, prevent or minimize the chances of the product or process fails, thereby increasing its reliability. Whereas the environmental impact generated by a plant has several potential risks, this method was employed to assess the environmental risk during the processing of cheese at a dairy in the region of Lavras – MG. A survey of inputs and outputs of each operation of the process was done and the outputs that showed environmental impacts were analyzed using a form for application of the method. Actions have been suggested according to them, helping to decrease the probability of environmental risk generated occur as these actions have been implemented, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient.
