Nov 12, 2013 - During Gemba walks (walks around the shop floor) one can randomly talk to people and encourage them to improve something by asking the following questions, which in our plant are also put on a Kamishibai card: Read more about Lean . Oct 12, 2012 - Step 2: Expose and eliminate abnormalities. Sep 11, 2008 - Autonomous maintenance. Introduction to TPM: Total Productive Maintenance (Preventative Maintenance Series). Aug 20, 2012 - Today's TPM was born on the shopfloor of Japanese manufacturers during the late 1970s and has been making progress since then, basically as methodology for plant maintenance. Jan 28, 2013 - Autonomous Maintenance is often developed alongside 5S activities, taking the first step of 5S, the Sorting Out of redundant items and converting it into the Restoration of deteriorated equipment. Also called jishu hozen, autonomous maintenance involves a seven-step process for achieving operator-controlled maintenance. This week, I learned the most during the meetings of our Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) teams. The second step of 5S, The fundamental point is that TPM is not a maintenance system in itself, but the specific application of 5S and TQM to equipment, making it a comparatively easy step forward for companies already employing 5S and TQM on the shopfloor. TPM, in the strict sense, refers to small group activities calling for total employee involvement and implemented primarily by the production, maintenance, and plant engineering departments to maximize productivity. We have a The AMI team is trained to implement the 7 steps of Autonomous Maintenance on a model Machine. Aug 7, 2013 - TPM in Process Industries (Step-By-Step Approach to TPM Implementation). In other words, it Autonomous Maintenance in Seven Steps. Analytical Techniques for Improvement Rather than trying to apply a cocktail of complex theoretical techniques, it is far more effective to adopt the shop-floor approach: first expose and eradicate all minor flaws, restore deterioration, and painstakingly establish basic conditions.
