Industrial maintenance, particularly regarding the planning of corrective maintenance of machines and devices, is one of the pillars of productive asset management, as it is directly related to efficiency, safety, and competitiveness. The intersection between industrial maintenance planning and neuroergonomy focusing on the impact of cognitive load and stress on the maintenance team, influences the probability of human errors and secondary failures. The objective of this research is to present the development and analysis of a maintenance plan applying neuroergonomics concepts to a metalworking company, based on five essential pieces of equipment for the mechanical manufacturing process. The methodology used relevant literature and technical manuals to measure the indicators of mean time between failures (MTBF), where higher is better, and mean time to repair (MTTR), where lower is better. In this sense, the availability and organizational efficiency compared before and after the application of maintenance practices with neuroergonomics planning is relevant to preventive maintenance and, if necessary, unscheduled corrective maintenance. The results demonstrate gains in reliability and efficiency, with an average increase of up to 8% in MTBF and a reduction of 11% in MTTR. It is concluded that planning adopting structured neuroergonomics concepts and monitoring indicators are important resources for minimizing discomfort and maximizing the perception of well-being in maintenance activities.
