PLAN FOR MANAGEMENT AND SHARING OF USE OF MULTI-USER EQUIPMENT (MUE process linked to the 2013 / 50238-3 process) – under construction
This plan for managing and sharing the use of multi-user equipment is related to the gaseous emissions measurement bench.
TECHNICAL DATA
The laboratory will have technical support, which will be responsible for the entire operational and maintenance of the equipment. The laboratory will be supervised by the Steering Committee.
The MUE will be installed in the Motors and Vehicles Laboratory of the Instituto Mauá de Tecnologia (CPE Headquarters “Professor Urbano Ernesto Stumpf”), with enough space for the MUE.
In the operation of the equipment, technicians will instruct and accompany internal and external users when using the MUE.
Specialized maintenance services will be contracted with external suppliers.
This plan also presents the Management Committee and the Users Committee and their functions. In both committees, the Institutional Researcher Support Office (EAIP-IMT) will assist with administrative procedures related to FAPESP, thus being able to participate in the meetings of each committee.
