develop skills to find and to be aware of problems

Machine:

start the restoration cycle

• Training for TPM, Step 1, Team Building, big cleaning
• Activity board and KPI implemented and routinely updated
• Activities well defined and divided among the team members

• Good understanding about AM concepts Step 1 and SHE policy
• Set and Sort are frequently used
• Meetings were established; OPL are used to teach and learn about problems
• Map of SOCs and HTA
• At the end, a basic check list for cleaning and inspection with OPLs for the main points

AM – Step 2 Deliveries

People:

develop skills to solve the problem (SOC, HTA)

Machine:

eliminate SOCs and HTA

• Training for Step 2
• Activity board well understood by all team members
• The tools are well understood and SOCs / HTA are led by the team (AM and EM)
• Solution for 85% of SOCs (# of SOCs and % of waste reduced)
• Solution for 40% of HTA (or for the most important points)
• Abnormality w/o F-tag are unacceptable by the team: all identified, 85% of completion
• Strong control over F-tag process
• Many examples of complete restoration on the machine
• Good understanding about AM concepts Step 1,2 and SHE policy
• Set, Sort and Shine are frequently used
• Meetings and OPLs are used to improve the team performance
• Analysis and solution for the most often recurrence of abnormalities
• Positive trend for OEE and Spillage
• At the end, map of lubrication points
