Team Roles / Responsibilities

 

The team as a whole determines the roles of each of the members in a series of tasks to be performed.  There must be a Team Leader, he or she will be a knowledgeable person who will assign and support the others in their different  tasks. Some will start tagging the machine in all those points where according with observations of the whole team, some improvements can be made or it shows discrepancies from the ideal operational condition.

One of the members will keep a registry of all those tags in the machine or surrounding area. The whole team will proceed to solve the different problems in order to reduce the number of “active” tags every day.  The roles are not limitative whatsoever, all the members are really in a close cooperation within the rest of the team to reach the best result possible.

Often, when performing the basic cleaning of the equipment, (always considered task # 1), some new discrepancies are discovered, and of course tagged and registered.  Gradually, all those discrepancies and oportunities are taken care of, and the machine gets really improved.

Once implemented, each team will keep a close communication, they will discuss some new observations or improvements that any of the members may want to bring up. If it is considered by any members of the team that there are changes or modifications that will mean improvement, they will be scheduled for the near future.  TPM implementation is just the beginning of an ongoing improvement process.
