The test jigs are responsible for functional tests are complex and high performance equipment used in the electronics industry to validate the functionality of analog, digital devices or any other products of the electro-electronic industry in the industrial hub of Manaus. In the analyzed process, these gigas are arranged following a configuration in parallel with each other, and in series with the rest of the assembly line and the effect of a failure in this kind of configuration is critical, because the simplest failures can impact the production process generating several types of waste and, consequently, financial losses for the company. This work aims to study the behavior of the equipment of a production process of Cable Modems and Set Top Boxes, analyze the failures that occur during the process and guide the study of its reliability in order to allow the maintenance management to make decisions on how to handle the equipment, aiming to reduce failure rates and use appropriate maintenance practices to allow the maximization of reliability.
