TPM When we at Productivity Inc first started teaching TPM in the 1980’s, we developed a five- day event similar to the Kaizen Blitz, which we called the “maintenance miracle.” This was a practical course in autonomous maintenance, implementing the first three steps on pilot equipment in a host facility. Since then, we have seen many versions of autonomous or operator maintenance which have missed the point that autonomous maintenance is a process, not a result. Giving an operator a list of maintenance tasks is not Autonomous Maintenance; restoring, improving and maintaining equipment is. So my thing to think about and do in 2011 is to take a piece of equipment – something that is both meaningful, due to being a capacity constraint, causing significant downtime, or both, and manageable, being small enough for your team of five to nine people to complete in three to four days, and perform the first three steps of autonomous maintenance: Improve - make modifications to the equipment to eliminate sources of contamination and causes of deterioration, and to improve accessibility for both operation and maintenance. Maintain - prepare an operator maintenance standard and visualize the checkpoints on the equipment itself. Review current PMs in relation to this new standard. Not only is autonomous maintenance an improvement process, it is a learning process – for you to learn about how far your equipment has deteriorated, and for your operators to learn about how your equipment performs its functions. Performing an autonomous maintenance pilot with your team members from your engineering, maintenance and operations departments will give you new insights into the status of your equipment and maintenance operations.
