Autonomous Maintenance for Engineers and Operators

Autonomous Maintenance

1. Autonomous Maintenance Training For Operations Team Viraj Niroshan

2. Introduction to Autonomous Maintenance Definition of Autonomous Maintenance: - Involvement of operators in routine maintenance tasks. Importance: - Helps reduce breakdowns and improve equipment lifespan.

3. Goals of Autonomous Maintenance - Reducing breakdowns - Increasing equipment life - Enhancing operator involvement and skills

4. Pillars of Autonomous Maintenance - Cleaning - Inspection - Lubrication - Tightening - Documentation & Record Keeping

5. Operator Responsibilities - Daily inspection routines - First-line maintenance tasks - Reporting anomalies

6. Steps for Implementing Autonomous Maintenance - Initial cleaning and inspection - Creating cleaning standards - Visual controls (labeling, tagging) - Training operators in maintenance tasks

7. Tools and Techniques - Visual management tools (color coding, signs) - Checklists for daily tasks - Lubrication schedules - Fault reporting systems

8. Benefits to Operators - Empowerment in maintaining equipment - Increased technical knowledge - Improved working environment

9. Challenges & Solutions - Overcoming resistance to change - Training and retraining - Monitoring progress and feedback loops

10. Key Metrics to Track - Mean time between failures (MTBF) - Mean time to repair (MTTR) - Downtime reduction - Operator involvement

11. Conclusion Autonomous Maintenance empowers operators, reduces equipment breakdowns, and improves plant efficiency. Let's work together to make it successful!
