1. Introduction
A machine breakdown does not occur suddenly. There
is a symptom of the breakdown before it takes place.
That is, it is the result of the growth of a minor defect.
To eliminate breakdowns, it is necessary to check

equipment for detecting a symptom of a breakdown.
Maintenance crew cannot detect and cover all the

symptoms of breakdown.
It is the operators of machines and processes who can

catch the information on the status quo of an item of
plant and prevent it from breaking down.
Unless the operators know how to maintain equipment,

they cannot help having equipment breakdowns.
AM is powerful in case where there are operators and

where breakdowns, defectives and minor stoppages take
place due to lack of maintaining the basic condition of
equipment and when they inspect their equipment.
In general, one third of breakdown

comes from lack of basic
conditions.

errors

Lack of the basic

conditions
Another one third of them can be

avoided if the competence of AM
people can be raised and AM step 1
step 7 are carried out rigorously
with well organized inspection of
natural deterioration, but this costs
much money.
The rest can be tackled by PM step 1

step 3. Once we establish a PM
calendar, we understand what we have
to do with the equipment.

Perform Initial
cleaning
Address
contamination
sources and
inaccessible places
Activities
Eliminate dust ant dirt from main body of equipment
Expose irregularities such as slight defects, contamination

sources, inaccessible places, and sources of quality
defects
Eliminate unnecessary and seldom-used items, and

simplify equipment
Reduce housekeeping time by eliminating sources of dust

and dirt, preventing scatter, and improving parts that are
hard to clean, check, lubricate, tighten, or manipulate
Formulate work standards that help maintain cleaning,

lubricating, and tightening levels within minimal time and
effort
Improve the efficiency of checking work introducing visual

controls
3.
Establish leaning
and checking
standards
Provide inspection skills training based on inspection

manuals
Get individual equipment items into peak condition by

subjecting them to general inspection
Modify equipment to facilitate checking. Make extensive

use of visual controls
22
4.
Conduct general
equipment
inspection
Step
Activities
5. Perform general
process inspection
Provide instruction in process performance, operation, and

adjustment and in methods of handing abnormalities in
order to improve operational reliability by developing
process-competent operators
Prevent inspection duplications and omissions by
incorporating provisional cleaning and inspection standards
for individual equipment items into periodic inspection and
replacement standards for entire processes or areas
6. Systematize
autonomous
maintenance
Achieve quality maintenance and safety by establishing

clear procedures and standards for dependable
autonomous maintenance
Improve setup procedures and reduce work-in-process
Establish a system of self-management for work place flow,
spares, tools, work-in-process, final products, data, etc.
7. Practice full selfmanagement
Evolve activities and standardize improvements in line with

company and plant policies and objectives, and reduce
costs by eliminating work place waste
Improve equipment further by keeping accurate
maintenance records (e.g., MTBF) and analyzing the data
in them

Autonomous maintenance
When equipment does not have the basic condition to be operated and
there are many possible causes which may lead to breakdowns, a collective
approach by AM without persistently asking why, why, - - - to
identify root
causes, can work well. But when there are few breakdowns, AM can be
very costly.
Step 2 is the key to get the benefits of AM.
Applying AM Step 1 3 is the key to establish the basic condition of the

equipment.
The major economic benefit of AM can be gained by AM Step 1 3.
Step 4 costs time and money.
Depending on the breakdown situation of the equipment applying Step 4

cannot be economically justified.
We need to add something extra activities on Step 4 to get benefits out of

it.

Developing an Autonomous Maintenance Program
Two characteristic keys to developing a successful

autonomous maintenance program are :
thoroughness
continuity
Actual decisive factor is smooth integration with the
following two WCM fundamental activities :
focused improvement to create know-how to attack

waste and losses systematically
education and training to horizontally expand the

know-how created by focused improvement
The Goals of AM
Prevent equipment deterioration through correct o

peration and daily checks
Bring equipment to its ideal state through restorati
on and proper management
Establish the basic conditions needed to keep equi
pment well-maintained

Why inspect ?
Inspection traces the conditions of areas known to be prone

to defect.
Inspection leads to understanding and ownership of what and
how to control conditions and make the job easy.
When some part, if it breaks, has a risk of

creating a huge damage, then it must be
placed to expose it to human eyes such that
its anomaly can be detected quickly
enough even if such placement looks ugly.

cables)

From Compulsory Deterioration to Natural Deterioration
1. Relationship between problems and compulsory deteriorat

ion
* Natural deterioration:
Things deteriorate naturally as they are used properly.
* Compulsory deterioration
Things are deteriorated by outside force.
The two sources of compulsory deterioration:
* Equipment ... no prevention of causes of dust, dirt and sca
ttering.
* Operator ... unmaintained basic conditions such as clean
ing, lubricating and bolting, human errors.
"Compulsory
deterioration" caused
by operator's
improper act.
Take countermeasures
at the source of
problems by
localization and
change "compulsory
deterioration" into
"natural deterioration."

Use of localized cover
1. Is the supply of coolant

concentrated on the cutting
point correctly?
2. Grasp the direction, angle,
quantity and speed of
scattering.
3. Aren't there any problem s of
operationability and safety?

Basic Information Lesson - Sample 1

This example of an information lesson makes extensive use of simple graphics to explain which things co
ntaminate hydraulic fluid. Graphics often clarify concepts and make them easier to remember. The lesson
would be delivered orally, with this sheet serving as a visual aid. Afterwards, this sheet will be made avail
able for reference. The information will eventually be incorporated in the standard procedures.
