Course Content Production are the parents of a machine, maintenance are the doctor.

Stability is the foundation or bedrock of the Toyota Production System. Without stable, reliable and repeatable processes, it is difficult to implement standardised work and operate just in time.

It is essential that the machines and equipment used withing the process are reliable and capable for the purpose they are intended.

To ensure the high levels of reliability demanded, it is important that we deploy the correct approach to our machine maintenance activities.

Our approach is firmly embedded in the principles to Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and involves all levels of the organisation in a focused programme of asset care.

This approach ensures the total participation and development of every employee in delivering outstanding levels of machine availability leading to operational efficiency measures in excess of 95%.

It is a dynamic system that is constantly evolving the maintenance requirements to truly meet the needs of the equipment and balance the cost of maintenance with the desire for high performance.

Our 1 day Effective Maintenance workshop provides the delegate with a unique opportunity to study / benchmark our manufacturing maintenance strategy and its practical application.

Delegates will understand our systematic approach and its link to TPS.

They will also understand the key elements of the system and the visualisation tools and techniques utilised to drive for even higher levels of machine reliability performance.

Enrolment and Start Dates Comment Tuesday, September 17 2013
Subjects Taught Delegates will study:
• Who does maintenance and the role of the maintenance department
• Proactive & reactive maintenance activities
• Our approach to condition based monitoring
• Developing the skills for good maintenance
• How to create ownership at the shop floor level
