Capabilities

• Preventive maintenance scheduling
• Autonomous maintenance checklists
• Predictive maintenance integration
• Spare parts planning
• Work order management
• MTBF/MTTR tracking
• Maintenance backlog management
• TPM pillar support

Used By Processes

• LEAN-005: Standard Work Documentation
• CAP-002: Production Scheduling Optimization
• QMS-001: ISO 9001 Implementation

Tools and Libraries

• CMMS systems (Maximo, SAP PM, Fiix)
• IoT sensors
• Predictive analytics platforms
• Mobile maintenance apps

Maintenance Types

| Type | Description | Trigger | |------|-------------|---------| | Reactive | Fix after failure | Breakdown | | Preventive | Scheduled based on time/usage | Calendar/runtime | | Predictive | Based on condition monitoring | Sensor data | | Proactive | Eliminate failure modes | Root cause | | Autonomous | Operator-performed | Daily/shift |

TPM Eight Pillars

| Pillar | Focus Area | |--------|------------| | Autonomous Maintenance | Operator ownership | | Planned Maintenance | Scheduled PM | | Quality Maintenance | Zero defects | | Focused Improvement | Eliminate losses | | Early Equipment Management | Design for reliability | | Training | Skills development | | Safety/Environment | Zero accidents | | Office TPM | Administrative efficiency |

Reliability Metrics

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)

MTBF = Total Operating Time / Number of Failures

Example: 1000 hours / 5 failures = 200 hours

MTTR (Mean Time To Repair)

MTTR = Total Repair Time / Number of Repairs

Example: 25 hours / 5 repairs = 5 hours

Availability

Availability = MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR)

Example: 200 / (200 + 5) = 97.6%

Maintenance Scheduling Rules

| Priority | Criteria | Scheduling | |----------|----------|------------| | Critical | Safety or production stop | Immediate | | High | Affects quality or capacity | Next available window | | Medium | Preventive maintenance | Scheduled window | | Low | Nice to have | When convenient |

Predictive Maintenance Signals

| Technology | Monitors | Detects | |------------|----------|---------| | Vibration | Rotating equipment | Bearing wear, imbalance | | Thermography | All equipment | Hot spots, electrical | | Oil Analysis | Lubricated systems | Wear particles, contamination | | Ultrasound | All equipment | Leaks, electrical arcing |

Integration Points
