KAIZEN™ in Maintenance

Maintenance is becoming more about prediction and less about breakdown resolution.

Implement a model based on Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) principles through the design of predictive and planned approaches, that will optimise your spare parts stock management and reduce equipment downtime while maximising efficiency.

From:

Repair and manage breakdown risks.

Objectives not shared between production and maintenance.

To:

Integrate maintenance with production and prevent issues upstream.

Early equipment management.

Tools

Kobetsu KAIZEN™

Increase equipment efficiency - OEE - by following a structured approach aimed at eliminating failures.
Develop problem-solving capabilities to effectively identify and eliminate root causes.

Planned Maintenance

Develop and deliver planned maintenance plans that improve equipment reliability.
Maintain a spare parts stock level that is cost-efficient and guarantees the desired mean time to repair.
Research and develop new technology to help monitor the equipment and improve performance.

Autonomous Maintenance

Train production operators to perform basic maintenance tasks such as cleaning, inspection and lubrication.
Ensure that operators can detect failures at the time they occur, ensuring rapid response and greater reliability of equipment.
Free maintenance teams for technical activities with higher added value (technical improvements, advanced prevention activities, planned maintenance, predictive analysis, structured failure analysis).

Education and Training

Develop and implement a long-term training plan/ academy for all operators.
Guarantee that the lessons learned and technical knowledge gained are passed on between team members.

Early Equipment Management

Guarantee a proper implementation of new equipment in site.
Reduce the lifecycle cost of an equipment working in the design phase to prevent problems with FMEA.
