AUTONOMOUS
MAINTENANCE:
Autonomous
maintenance is unique feature of TPM. It is being realized that minor
maintenance performed by operator can contribute significantly towards
equipment effectiveness.
Objectives:
-
Get
operators in touch with their equipment to make them more familiar
with it, develop curiosity and sense of belongingness and
ownership.
-
Establish
and maintain basic equipment conditions
through cleaning lubricating and tightening.
-
Increase
the availability of plant and machine capacity utilization and to
improve overall equipment efficiency.
There
are seven steps to the development of Autonomous maintenance.
It is a group activity. One supervisor, one operator and one
maintenance supervisor or in-charge to conduct the autonomous
maintenance. This table gives you the clear picture of each step and it
shows what is the target of each step in
terms
of operator and equipment.
I
will explain in detail of each step with an example in my next
article...
