Addressing Cleaning And Lubrication Standards is an important step in TPM
Maintaining
a machine in accordance with TPM
principles is not the easiest task for an operator who works throughout the
day. What makes the job more difficult is the absence of clearly defined
standards for cleaning and lubrication of a machine. These standards need to be
addressed keeping in mind the working environment and utilization of the
machine. It can make a world of difference for the machine’s performance, efficiency and productivity
Autonomous maintenance activities
combined with standards of cleaning and lubrication lay a roadmap for routine
machine maintenance. Cleaning machines along with all its components requires
considerable effort. By making this process easier, the effort required for
cleaning and lubrication is significantly reduced. This goal can be
accomplished by making inaccessible areas easy to reach and clean by
modification of the machine, thus increasing the maintainability and durablity
of the machine.
