Autonomous Maintenance for Operators

Productivity soars when operators are positively involved in maintaining their own equipment. For supervisors, TPM coordinators, and equipment operators, this book provides guidance and case studies on autonomous maintenance. Activity boards, photos, cartoons, and actual examples demonstrate the benefits that can be reaped from encouraging the development of informed, motivated operators who take ownership of their equipment. Operators will learn skills to keep machinery running smoothly, ways to inspect for problems during routine cleaning, ideas for containing damaging debris, and tips for effective lubrication, as well as ways to use activity boards, meetings, and one-point lessons to promote TPM goals.
