"Autonomous Maintenance is one of the most powerful aspects of any Total Productive Maintenance program." Ron Pereira, Co-Founder & Managing Director at Gemba Academy
KELLER, Texas (PRWEB) January 11, 2023
Gemba Academy, the world’s largest provider of continuous improvement, Lean, and Six Sigma training and certification is introducing a new course in their quickly expanding online training catalog on Autonomous Maintenance, one of the 8 pillars of Total Productive Maintenance.
This new course is designed as part of a larger series on Total Productive Maintenance and describes how the pillar of Autonomous Maintenance in TPM supports smooth and effective plant operations by enabling operators to detect and correct equipment problems early.
Participants in this course will learn the difference between basic and optimal conditions, natural and forced deterioration, the seven types of equipment abnormality, and the seven steps for getting started with Autonomous Maintenance.
“I'm so excited and happy with how this TPM series is progressing. Up next is the system known as Autonomous Maintenance which is when equipment operators perform a set of basic daily maintenance activities on their equipment,” explains Ron Pereira, Co-Founder & Managing Director at Gemba Academy, “The overall aim of Autonomous Maintenance is to support smooth and effective plant operations. One of the ways this is accomplished is by detecting and correcting equipment problems early. The people who run the machines every day are closest to them. They’re the first line of defense against equipment problems. This is why Autonomous Maintenance is one of the most powerful aspects of any Total Productive Maintenance program.”
Gemba Academy’s Autonomous Maintenance course series consists of bite-sized training videos as well as short quizzes to check for understanding. The first video in the series is available to watch now and gives an overview of the benefits of the course and topic.
