The autonomy maintenance activity

The autonomy maintenance activity is the activity that the manufacturing department maintains a production facilities personally.An active procedure is divided into seven steps.However, the activity which does the maintenance of the facilities directly is an activity to 1-5 steps.
The activity of each step becomes the following table.

Step    The active name    The outline of the active contents
1 step The early stage cleaning check ・Circle all the members clean the dirt of the facilities.
・Then, it finds the various defects of the facilities and
it puts a card to the part.
・The part which needs urgency repairs immediately.
2 step The occurrence source, the cleaning,
the refueling, the check.It improves
these difficult parts.
・It restores all defects.
・It improves the part for which it is difficult the cleaning, the lubricating and the checks.
The part the check of which is difficult improves to be eyes and that it is possible to make the normal or extraordinary judgement at once by seeing by it.
・It removes the card of the restoration and the improved part.
3 step It makes temporary standard of the cleaning, the refueling, the check. ・It makes temporary standard of the cleaning, the lubricating, the check.
・It makes a checking sheet based on the standard.
・Actually, it does cleaning, lubricating, a check.
・Moreover, it reconsiders and it revises time and period of the cleaning, the lubricating, the check.
4 step The All check
・It prepares a textbook and actual technique teaching materials for the basis knowledge(the conclusion, the lubrication, the drive, the hydraulic and air pressure, the electricity) education by the facilities.
・The professional maintenance member implements education to the supervisor.
・The supervisor implements communication education to the operator.
・After education, it checks facilities about whether or not there is not each defect.
(The operator checks facilities in the right basis knowledge.)
5 step The autonomy check ・It reconsiders and it revises the temporary standard of the cleaning lubricating check in the place to have made with the 3rd step after All check in this standard.
6 step All arrangement and standardization ・It arranges the neighborhood (the attendant equipment, the tool, the shelf) of the facilities.
・It reconsiders and it standardizes all work.
・It improves the flow of the manufacture of the product and it makes stock little.
7 step The autonomy control ・It reconsiders 6 steps from 1 step and it does the activity which is lacking.
・It achieves zero disaster, zero piece of worse, zero piece of trouble and it raises productivity in the utmost.
・It manages an autonomy in the manufacturing scene.


The active contents of the autonomy maintenance
in case of facilities management activity

In the facilities management activity, out of 7 steps of the autonomy maintenance activity, it limits to the activity to 1-3 steps.As for the All check activity of 4 steps, the professional maintenance subdivision checks in 1-2 steps.
The result is based and it makes this standard of the cleaning refueling check which is equivalent to the autonomy check by the TPM 5 step with 3 steps.

Step The active name            The active contents
1step The early stage cleaning check
(The card putting)
・ It sets the model line of the activity.
Then, it makes model facility autonomy maintenance activity plan.・ It cleans the dirt of the facilities thoroughly.Then, it puts a card in the dirty occurrence source and all the dirty defects while cleaning.
・ We tighten up to increase an important conclusion part (the bolt, the nut).Then, lubricate the place not to have been lubricating a lubricating part.
・ It puts a card to the interference of the operating wiring plumbing, the allophone in the drive part and the defect of the vibration.
・ The cover, the door, all pits are civilized and clean inside.Then, it puts a card at the defective part.
・The defect
 The loosening, the leakage, the damaging,the transformation, the abrasion, the interference,the scatter, the generation of heat,the vibration、The lubricating and the check is difficult.
・ It implements restoration or improvement in the defect which can do restoration simply with the defect which needs urgency.Then, it removes a card.
・ The professional maintenance member finds a defect in the professional point of view in the conclusion, the lubrication, the drive, the hydraulic and air pressure, the electric control.Then, it puts a card to those parts.
・ It makes and it implements a cleaning temporary standard.
・ It implements the autonomy maintenance examination of 1 step.Then, it continues an activity until the examination passes.
・ It makes an autonomy maintenance activity board.
・ It takes a photograph before cleaning and after cleaning.
・ It takes a photograph before improvement of the defect.
・ It does defective contents in the stratification.Then, it enters in the graph of the card putting and the card taking.
2step The measure at the part which is difficult about the occurrence source
(The card taking)
・ It restores a part in the leakage or the place to hang and to scatter.It makes a way of restoring local minimum covering and it prevents from diffusion
・ It improves cleaning of, lubricating, check, each difficult parts.
・ Besides, it does all restoration or improvement in the defective part.It removes a card in the restoration and at the improved part.
・ The gauge kind moves to the height of the eyes and it displays the normal and extraordinary range.
・It installs the windmill with wind quantity to understand in the fan cooler of the control board.
・A check part in the height and also at the underground pit is made to be able to be seen in the ground.
・ The oil quantity is easy to check and improves hydraulic pressure or a lubrication tank.
・ The drive part (the belt, the chain) installs a check window.
・ It takes a photograph after defect improvement.
・It confirms an improvement result.
・ It implements improvement's skill education.(Sheet metal, the drill, the weld)
・ It makes the temporary standard of the lubricating and then it implements.
・ It implements the autonomy maintenance examination of 2 steps.
 It continues an activity until the examination passes.
3step It makes a "Cleaning, lubricating, a check standard"
(The control to see with the eyes).
・ It makes the drawing of the structure of the facilities.It investigates and it enters lubrication course in the drawing.
・ It checks off the item of existing beginning check and the item of the safe check, the cleaning standard which was made with 1 step, the lubricating standard which was made with 2 steps and it makes "the cleaning, the lubricating, the check standard".
・ It makes "the cleaning lubricating check checking sheet" based on the standard book and it implements it.
・ It records the time of the implemented result and the list up in the improvement item with the item which time is taken for.Then, it reconsiders a cycle.
Then, it improves that it is easy to lubricate with the improvement which is easy to clean.
・ It does attendant equipment and an arrangement around.
・ It implements the autonomy maintenance examination of 3 steps.The examination continues an activity until pass.


[It is troubled by the autonomy maintenance activity.]

As for the autonomy maintenance activity, the terrible pains accompany all the scenes when spreading out.
The manager and the supervisor get to experience to do the terrible of making an operator participate in the activity in the limited active time.
It is necessary to show the leadership of the manager and the supervisor.

[See the defect when the facilities are running].

While active, to stop and to clean facilities in the early stages, a defect during operation of wiring interference and being pulled and the generation of heat, the allophone and the vibration and so on has been almost overlooked.
"See the defect when moving".For its purpose, operator all the members always put a card in the pocket and do it by the work.Then, put a card at once if discovering these defects when moving during work.

[Why is it "the cleaning, the lubricating and the check"?]

As for the reason, the 1st is for the safe securing, the 2nd is to secure quality and then the 3rd is to forecast and to prevent breakdown.
For example, the cleaning of the dirt of the product installation part is to secure quality.
The check of the pressure gauge of the hydraulic pressure is to forecast the trouble of the quality securing and pump.
The oil quantity check and lubricating by lubricating oil prevents breakdown.
