ESD.60 Lean/Six Sigma Systems
MIT Leaders for Manufacturing Program (LFM)
Summer 2004

These materials were developed as part of MIT's ESD.60 course on "Lean/Six Sigma Systems." In some cases,
the materials were produced by the lead instructor, Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, and in some cases by student teams
working with LFM alumni/ae. Where the materials were developed by student teams, additional inputs from the
faculty and from the technical instructor, Chris Musso, are reflected in some of the text or in an appendix

Types of Maintenance

Breakdown Maintenance:
Waiting until equipment fails before repairing or servicing it

Preventive Maintenance (PM):


(Time-based or run-based) Periodically inspecting, servicing,
cleaning, or replacing parts to prevent sudden failure
(Predictive) On-line monitoring of equipment in order to use
important/expensive parts to the limit of their serviceable life

Corrective or Predictive Maintenance:


Improving equipment and its components so that preventive
maintenance can be carried out reliably

Part I: Introduction Part II: Concepts Part III: Application Part IV: Disconnects Part V: Conclusion
Benefits of Preventive Maintenance
the cost of breakdown maintenance is usually much
greater than preventive maintenance. 1
Preventive maintenance
Keeps equipment in good condition to prevent large problems
Extends the useful life of equipment
Finds small problems before they become big ones
Is an excellent training tool for technicians
Helps eliminate rework/scrap and reduces process variability
Keeps equipment safer
Parts stocking levels can be optimized
Greatly reduces unplanned downtime

The Manufacturing Game

Similar to the Beer Game


Simulates a typical plant with three roles:
Operations Manager
Maintenance Manager
Spare Parts Stores Manager
Each round, participants make decisions such as:
Which equipment to take down for PMs
How to allocate maintenance resources
How many spare parts to order
Revenue, cost, output, uptime, inventory are recorded

The Manufacturing Game Results

Teams who follow a cost-minimization strategy (reactive


maintenance policies) are able to keep costs low for a
while. However, as defects build up they find their
uptime falling and costs rising.
Teams who follow a preventive maintenance strategy
initially find higher costs and reduced uptime as
equipment is taken offline for planned maintenance.
Soon, however, these teams begin to greatly outperform
teams following a cost-minimization strategy.

Part I: Introduction Part II: Concepts Part III: Application Part IV: Disconnects Part V: Conclusion
When Does PM Make Sense?
PM makes sense when the cost of doing PM is less than the
cost of NOT doing PM.

PM makes sense if CDoingPM < CNotDoingPM

CDoingPM = f(hours of not running equipment, loss in employee


morale from doing PM instead of real work, materials
and man-hours consumed in PM, potential for making
things worse, etc.)
CNotDoingPM = f(cost of losing/reworking a failed batch (unless PM
makes no difference in preventing the failure), materials
and man-hours spent repairing equipment, loss of
equipment lifetime, loss in employee morale from NOT
doing PM, reduced employee familiarity with equipment,
etc.)

Part I: Introduction Part II: Concepts Part III: Application Part IV: Disconnects Part V: Conclusion
Optimizing a PM Schedule

Question:
If a certain piece of production equipment requires ~10 hours of
preventive maintenance per week, how should those 10 hours
be scheduled?

Answer:
In a 24x7 manufacturing operation, it is typically better to
perform the ~10 hours of activities in several smaller periods of
time, for instance 5 PM activities that take ~2 hours each
Duration and variability in preventive maintenance are key
factors in whether equipment will be able to maintain a steady
flow of output

Part I: Introduction Part II: Concepts Part III: Application Part IV: Disconnects Part V: Conclusion
PM Durations: Why they matter
For the exact same availability on a piece of equipment:
Simulation Avg QueueLength StdDev QueueLength
1) =10h, =20h 56 63
2) =5h, =10h 38 52
3) =2h, =4h 8 8
4) =2h, =6h 56 57
Shorter PM durations mean a difference in days of lot
cycle time!
Each day of factory cycle time = millions of $$
Regardless of the mean, performing PMs inconsistently
is functionally equivalent to consistently having much
longer downtime durations

Part I: Introduction Part II: Concepts Part III: Application Part IV: Disconnects Part V: Conclusion
The Waddington Effect
First observed by C.H. Waddington during WWII for
British aircraft maintenance
Background theory: unscheduled downtime should
be a random phenomenon
If all unscheduled downtime events are plotted with
respect to the last PM, there should not be any
pattern evident
A pattern of increased unscheduled downtime
immediately following PMs is a Waddington
Effect

The benefits of preventive Under-trained technicians

performance

[LFM Students] ESD.60 Lean/Six Sigma Systems, LFM, MIT 6/9/04 -- 17

Part I: Introduction Part II: Concepts Part III: Application Part IV: Disconnects Part V: Conclusion
Concluding Comments
Performing preventive maintenance is almost always the best
long-term strategy to maintain equipment

PM scheduling and strategy are keys to maximizing output


while reducing work-in-process inventory

Due to short-term cost increases and local optimums, there are


barriers to implementing a preventive maintenance strategy at
some plants

PM is an important tool for establishing stability


necessary for other lean elements:
Andon, 5s, etc.

How do you escape the crisis management


whirlpool?
Social disconnects:
Change the mindset of management, maintenance
group from reaction to prevention
