NECESSITY OF OVERALL INSPECTION
Reality of Inspection
• Operators’ inspection were not effective due to lack of skill, motivation, feasibility
etc.
• Maintenance staff creates standard and forces operator to perform inspection.
• The inspection document includes too many checkpoints without consider
operator’s workload and skill.
• Maintenance staff just completes the check sheet and pass to Production for
operator to do routine inspection.
• Maintenance staff busy to settle frequent breakdowns and no time to perform
routine inspections.
• Ordinary operators can NEVER perform effective inspections due to their
backgrounds.
68. AUTONOMOUS MAINTENANCE - STEP 4
OVERALL INSPECTION STANDARD
NECESSITY OF OVERALL INSPECTION
Why Most Standards Ineffective
• Due to lack of consideration as follow:
What must be inspected?
How much time needed for inspection?
How long are the inspection intervals?
What skill does operator needs?
Any way to make inspection easier?
Is it feasible to conduct inspection together with
cleaning/lubrication?
Is inspection task allocated properly between Production and
Maintenance staffs?
• Operator is not taught about negative impact on insufficient
inspection to equipment and product quality.
• Operator will not generate motivation under these conditions.
69. AUTONOMOUS MAINTENANCE - STEP 4
OVERALL INSPECTION STANDARD
NECESSITY OF OVERALL INSPECTION
No Skill is Provided
• The largest obstacle in effective inspection is lack of skill by
operator.
• Most criteria for inspections are by visual which are difficult to
quantify.
• Operator need to acquire skill on abnormalities and able to
differentiate between normal and abnormal conditions such as
on abrasion, play, noise, vibration etc.
• It is essential to train operator on this kind of fuguai in order for
them to detect the fuguai during routine operating, cleaning and
lubrication tasks.
• This is called “technical sixth sense.”
70. AUTONOMOUS MAINTENANCE - STEP 4
OVERALL INSPECTION STANDARD
NECESSITY OF OVERALL INSPECTION
No Opportunity is Created
• Some management only focus on quantity of products without
considering equipment conditions.
• This attitude causes an increase in minor stoppage and
breakdown along with output reduction.
• Even highly skilled & motivated operator failed to do effective
inspection due to equipment minor stoppage or reworking defect
products.
• Management role is to provide opportunity for operator to do
effective inspection in order to get enough output.
• This is fall under Management Commitment & Support.
71. AUTONOMOUS MAINTENANCE - STEP 4
OVERALL INSPECTION STANDARD
NECESSITY OF OVERALL INSPECTION
The Operator’s Potential
• Operator need to be educated in each category of inspection.
• The roll out education need to be in easily understood language.
• Once operator acquired skill and knowledge, they will commit
themselves to the important role of routine inspection.
• Education in AM focuses on raising up the technical level of ALL
members not eliminating the dull one.
• After acquiring the necessary education, the operator has a
potential to create their own check sheet and perform effective
routine inspection beside detecting and restoring fuguai.

Finishing – Review standard
• The overall inspection tentative standard should be review after
improvement done on equipment.
• Especially on difficult inspection areas, when inspecting method
or equipment were improved, the inspection time and method
should be revised accordingly.
• This process should be repeated using CAPD method until a
targeted inspection time is achieved.
• At the end, by repeating the process, operator’s skill will be
enhanced and equipment fuguai and deterioration will be
minimized or eliminated.

• Inspection items for AM group are derived from tasks allocation
by comparing standards previously.
• For inspection interval, it is advisable to minimize the inspection
items for daily routine to items that will resulted in severe
troubles in terms of safety and quality.
• To create best case, operator can perform inspection on daily
routine interval without referring to check sheet. Only items on
weekly and monthly, need to use check sheet.
• It is better to inspect more items in longer interval rather than
less items in shorter interval. For example, 15 minutes monthly
better than 2 minutes daily.

Autonomous Supervision
AIMING AT HIGHER LEVEL OF TPM
• The goals of Autonomous Maintenance and TPM nearly
achieved at this point of time.
• It depends on operating conditions and TPM policy but generally
it has two dimensions :
1. Infrequent equipment review
2. Frequent equipment review
What must be done next?
170. AUTONOMOUS MAINTENANCE - STEP 7
Autonomous Supervision
AIMING AT HIGHER LEVEL OF TPM
Infrequent Equipment Review
• Typically found in process industries such as petroleum,
chemicals and cement.
• The processes are highly technical developed and the products
have a long commodity life.
• Usually once constructed, it operated as long as possible until
natural deterioration and aging with minor modifications such as
parts replacement or upgrading instrument.
• For these industries, the current AM and TPM activities are
sufficient enough but need to maintain the level of TPM.
• The most critical issue is the reduction of maintenance costs.
171. AUTONOMOUS MAINTENANCE - STEP 7
Autonomous Supervision
AIMING AT HIGHER LEVEL OF TPM
Frequent Equipment Review
• Typically found in assembly industries such as automotives,
electronics and consumer goods.
• The processes are rapidly change due to short life cycle of the
products.
• Once constructed, drastic and frequent model changes along
with innovations in technology take place continuously.
• For these industries, the current AM and TPM activities are NOT
enough and need to repeat on the new equipment.
• The most critical issue is the planning of AM activities for new
equipment.
172. AUTONOMOUS MAINTENANCE - STEP 7
Autonomous Supervision
AIMING AT HIGHER LEVEL OF TPM
Apply TPM Experiences – Future Products
• Ideally AM and TPM is NOT NEEDED if:
• The scenario does not occur in reality
• Manufactures face heavy competition, thus need to realign their
production technologies and products planning.

operator posses insufficient skills and knowledge.
174. AUTONOMOUS MAINTENANCE - STEP 7
Autonomous Supervision
AIMING AT HIGHER LEVEL OF TPM
Apply TPM Experiences – Future Products
• With aiming to higher level of TPM, the difficulties faced as
mentioned earlier need to be reduced by:
1. Operator sharing experiences in AM on equipment and
products during design review.
2. Maintenance staff offering ideas in a design review
during engineering stage.
3. Design and Engineering department involve in
eliminating the Six Big Losses
4. Various departments participate in the Autonomous

Automation
• It is considered as second industrial revolution started on early
1970s, the objectives are:
1. To free human being from repetitive manual works
2. To improve quality of products
3. To reduce cost of products
• The next generation of TPM is to repeat CAPD cycle on labor
intensive works to automated jobs by considering:
easy to operate automated equipment
easy to maintain automated equipment
defect free product
178. AUTONOMOUS MAINTENANCE - STEP 7
Autonomous Supervision
AIMING AT HIGHER LEVEL OF TPM
Computerization
• The first generation of TPM focused only on equipment and
materials.
• The next generation of TPM focused on information flow.
• The flow of information is managed by computer and it’s called
computerization.
• The CAPD cycle need to be used in defining the requirement on
information flow for computerization in order to ensure optimal
interfaces and flows of information among relevant departments.
