    Study Notes

    Autonomous Maintenance (AM)

    • Autonomous Maintenance (AM) is a concept where machine operators are responsible for routine maintenance tasks to detect and address anomalies.

    Benefits of Autonomous Maintenance (AM)

    • One of the benefits of Autonomous Maintenance (AM) is to enable machine operators to take ownership of maintenance, reducing dependence on external maintenance personnel.

    Eliminating Defects

    • Autonomous Maintenance (AM) helps to eliminate defects and equipment failures by empowering machine operators to perform routine maintenance tasks.

    Routine Preventive Maintenance Tasks

    • Routine preventive maintenance tasks in Autonomous Maintenance (AM) include cleaning, lubricating, and inspecting equipment.

    Machine Operator Responsibilities

    • Autonomous Maintenance (AM) enables machine operators to perform routine maintenance tasks, as well as detect and address anomalies to improve equipment reliability.
    • The primary responsibility of machine operators in autonomous maintenance is to perform routine maintenance tasks and detect anomalies.

    Implementing Autonomous Maintenance

    • The main purpose of implementing autonomous maintenance is to improve equipment reliability and reduce downtime.

    Role in Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)

    • Autonomous Maintenance (AM) is one of the pillars of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), which aims to maximize equipment effectiveness.

    Machine Operator Benefits

    • Autonomous Maintenance (AM) enables machine operators to take ownership of maintenance, reducing dependence on external maintenance personnel, and improving their skills and knowledge.

    Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Pillars

    • There are 8 pillars of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM): Autonomous Maintenance (AM), Focused Improvement, Planned Maintenance, Quality Maintenance, Education and Training, Early Management of New Products, Safety, Health, and Environment, and Administration and Office TPM.
