Maintenance ManagementTotal Productive Maintenance and Autonomous Maintenance
Most equipment losses are small, frequent and invisible in a maintenance report because they are absorbed by operators who work around them, and a maintenance department alone cannot see or fix them. This course covers the approach that involves the people at the machine. Delegates work through the six major losses and overall equipment effectiveness, measured honestly rather than to produce a flattering number. Autonomous maintenance is covered step by step, from initial clean and the defects it exposes through to operator standards. Planned maintenance, focused improvement and early equipment management follow. The training and skill development that autonomous maintenance requires is addressed, since it fails without it. The course closes on implementation sequencing and on why most programmes stall.
Course objectives
- Identify the six major losses and calculate equipment effectiveness honestly
- Run the autonomous maintenance steps from initial clean onward
- Expose and address the defects an initial clean reveals
- Set operator standards for cleaning, inspection and lubrication
- Integrate planned maintenance and focused improvement
- Build the operator skill the approach depends on
- Sequence implementation and avoid the causes of stalling
Who should attend
- Maintenance and production managers
- Operators taking on maintenance tasks
- Improvement and operational excellence staff
- Maintenance planners and supervisors
- Plant managers sponsoring a programme
