Autonomous maintenance
The main purpose of Autonomous Maintenance is to make operators aware of the careful way he or she must handle his or her work equipment.
Main concepts:
1-All employees are responsible for the maintenance and preservation of all equipment and facilities;
2-Every operator must “adopt” the machine he or she operates under the motto “My machine is my business!”;
3-Every problem, even the smaller ones, must be handled in a way that eliminates it or reduces its undesirable effects;
4-Cleanliness and organization are key factors for the effectiveness of Autonomous Maintenance;
5-The secret for keeping the equipment in good conditions is to clean and repair it a little every day. To ensure that the work is done with quality, hand tools were provided to every department for activities that involve the operation employees, who shall act as Maintenance Operators.
