Maximize Overall Equipment Efficiency by Total Productive Maintenance
Maximize Overall Equipment Efficiency by Total Productive Maintenance
TPM brings maintenance into focus as a necessary and vitally important part of the business. Downtime for maintenance is scheduled as a part of the manufacturing day and, in some cases, as an integral part of the manufacturing process. The goal is to hold emergency and unscheduled maintenance to a minimum.
have been pointed out for assessment. It is observed that the goal of all factory improvement activity is to increase productivity by minimizing input and maximizing output. Equipment and machinery are the crucial factors in increasing output. Productivity, quality, cost and delivery, as well as safety, hygiene, environment, and morale are all influenced significantly by equipment conditions.
enhance equipment effectiveness and maximize output. It strives to attain and maintain optimal equipment conditions in order to event unexpected breakdowns, speed losses, and quality defects in process
Overall efficiency including economic efficiency is achieved by minimizing the cost of upkeep and maintaining optimal equipment conditions throughout the life of equipment. So the steps that were followed are: a. Identification of major losses. b. Identification of significant losses by Pareto analysis. c Calculation of Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE). d. Reduction of losses with analytical techniques.
section is considered and seen that. So, Line the lowest production rate is considered for identifying and reducing equipment losses to maximize overall equipment efficiency (OEE) by TPM pillar 3- Kobetsu Kaizen (Focused Improvement).
data is collected for several machines for 10 days during operation Based on these data, the following major equipment losses are identified From these major losses the most significant losses are then identified by PARETO analysis
Methodology
Here, WWBLA is used. WWBLA technique is a worksheet which
identifies the root causes of a problem. In this technique, each major problem is considered separately and a worksheet is prepared. For each major problem, a cause is identified and called it first factor for problem. Then it is verified whether it can be divided into further root causes. If it is possible, then it is marked as G. Here, G stands for Go. Then a second factor for problem is identified and verified. In this way, a third, fourth problems are identified. If it is not possible to identify further, then verification is marked as NG (Stand for No Go). Finally, countermeasures are identified for each root causes of the problem
increase the OEE. The main cause of the most significant loss(i.e needle breakage ) WWBLA technique is used for identifying the countermeasures to reduce the problem of the problem needle breaking
