This includes understanding the importance of:
- Cleaning, inspection and proper cleaning methods
- Improving the equipment to reduce source of dirt and prevents its accumulation and spread
- Improving the machine to facilitate inspection with visual management
- Improving the machine to facilitate access, therefore maintainability
- Proper lubrication, including lubrication methods and methods for checking lubrication
- Improving operation and maintenance procedures to prevent abnormalities and facilitate their prompt detection
- Knowing what to look for when checking mechanisms
- Applying the proper criteria for judging abnormalities
- Understanding the relations between specific causes and abnormalities
- Knowing with confidence when the equipment needs to be shut off
- Being able to diagnose the cause of some types of failures
- Knowing how to solve a problem (e.g. breakdown, minor stoppage, material problem, material defect, etc.)
- Understanding the relationship between product quality characteristics and equipment mechanisms and functions
- Understanding tolerance ranges, how to measure them and how to avoid deterioration
- Understanding the causes of quality defects 4.The ability to understand why we lubricate and the consequences of a lack of CILT, and the ability to predict problems and detect their causes.
- Ability to replace parts
- Understanding of life expectancy of parts
- Ability to deduce the root causes of breakdowns and minor stoppages
- Ability to take emergency measures
- Ability to assist in overhaul repairs
Obviously, anyone who masters all these skills has achieved a very high level indeed, and no one is expected to do that quickly. Instead, each skill should be studied and practiced for whatever time it takes to acquire proficiency.
