Introduction – Total Productive
Maintenance
Definition: “A structured approach that establishes a corporate
culture, that will maximise production system effectiveness”

TPM: Aim of TPM:

• Total – Involvement of all functions and • Prevent losses and achieve:
people at all levels of organisation • Zero Accidents
• Productive – Efficient and effective • Zero defects
utilisation of all resources • Zero Breakdowns
• Maintenance – Keeping the man- in the entire production system life
machine-material system in optimal
condition
Introduction – Autonomous Maintenance

Autonomous according to the dictionary means

‘independent’, ‘self-sufficient’ or ‘self-governing’

AM is the foundation stone of TPM

• Activities by Operators to create & maintain base
conditions for optimal operation.
• Without operators who can look after their own machines,
losses and break-downs cannot be reduced.
• It is a way to “secure” improvements.

“I am in charge of my machine”
Objective

Problems that stop or slow the machine can be

eliminated by changing the attitude of the people –
Managers, Operators & Technicians In other words
Zero Defect & Zero Breakdowns can be attained
When:
• equipment works better, people work better
 people work better, factory works better
• factory works better, people are happier
7 STEP Implementation

Steps Levels
7. Autonomous Stage-3
Management
Standardize maintenance
6. Standardization activities & implement
Autonomous Control

5. Autonomous inspection Stage-2

Assessment of the wear on

4. General Inspection equipment & Develop activities
to prevent it

3. Develop tentative standards of cleaning, Stage-1

inspection & lubrication
Establish Basic Conditions
2. Counter measures against sources of dirt & difficult
of the Equipment & Maintain
points
those conditions
1. Initial Cleaning

0. Preparation Get people motivated

Issues of Prod & Maint.

OPERATOR Selfish attitude

“I OPERATE, YOU REPAIR”

+ MAINTENANCE
STAFF Negative attitude

“BE GREATFULL THAT I FIXED YOUR MACHINE”

= NON PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE

Machines Operators Maintenance

Operators Should Be Able To

• Understand how the equipment works & identify the causes

of abnormality
• Identify & correct equipment abnormalities
• Understand the relationship between equipment condition &
quality of the product; i.e. foresee quality issues & recognize
the cause.
• Carry our repairs
• Take charge of making improvements; on their own &
through working with other departments
Autonomous Maintenance – Step 0

Step 0 - Initial Preparation

• Problems and equipment abnormalities cannot be clearly seen
when the workplace is unorganized.

• Cleaning and organizing the workplace helps the team to uncover

problems.

• Making problems visible is the first step of improvement.

• 5s is a foundation program before the implementation of TPM

• To make the workplace organised and neat, 1S and 2S needs to be

implemented
Step 0 – 1S Sorting the Work Place

1S (Seiri/Sorting)

- 1.) Classify necessary &

unnecessary tools and
equipment around Work
Station

- 2.) Clear out unnecessary

items, take them to salvage
area or store
- 3.) Sort:
- Hand Tools
- Gauges
- Equipment Accessories
- Spares
- Cupboards and work
tables

Step 0 – 1S Sorting the Work Place

Decision Matrix
Step 0 – 2S Organising the Work Place

2S (Organising)

- 1.) Decide the right

place for each necessary
item (location)
- 2.) Mark the locations by
drawing a boundary around
the equipment to indicate its
zone
- 3.) Exhibit:
- Equipment Running
- Job Change
- Tool Change
- Break Down
Step 0 – 2S Organising the Work Place

2S (Organising)
Summary
Autonomous Maintenance
• Operator takes ownership of his/her equipment at all times

• Establish basic conditions of equipment

1S Sorting
• Classify needed and unneeded items in
work area

• Clear out unneeded items in work area

2S Organising
• Create a place for every needed item in
workplace

• Pre-fixed locations of tools and

equipment

• Standardise the item location and sustain

it
