Cleaning Periods and times for machine cleaning are established and followed All cleaning responsibilities are clearly defined Countermeasures are adopted to prevent leaking, splashing and spilling The cleaning status is recorded and displayed on a regular basis Inspection All machine/equipment inspections are performed as scheduled Lists of nuts, bolts, valves, gauges, lubes & level indicators are available for each equipment/machine Nuts and bolts are regularly checked for absence or damage Standards are established to reduce inspection time and frequency Lubrication The lubricant to be supplied to each machine is always available nearby A lubrication map exists to indicate all lube points Lubrication points are clearly marked on the machine/equipment The minimum and maximum oil levels are clearly marked Visual management Gauges, oil levels and lube points are clean and labeled Gauges and oil levels are marked to make out-of-spec conditions easily apparent Visuals are used to simplify work instructions and preventive maintenance activities Evidence of equipment transparency exists to ease checking Preventive maintenance PM history records are kept for each equipment/machine, easy to access and up to date PM is scheduled with actions maintaining each part of the equipment/machine Standards are set so that PM activities yield maximum benefit at minimum cost Actions are taken for those items which have not achieved adequate results Involvement and training Operators are responsible for the routine inspection of equipment Operators are doing part of the maintenance tasks (e.g. changing filters, ...) Operators are trained on how to identify waste that will improve the process Other A database for each piece of equipment, spare parts and tooling exist Spare parts are analyzed based on consumptions and past purchases All uniform bolts, nuts and washers are mounted in the same place All nuts are visible from the outside Spanners and other tools are located in places that are easy to use (e.g. shadow boards) Tightening fasteners and bolts are made regularly to prevent loosen due to process vibration
