Zero Breakdown Maintenance is built on three key premises. The first is that equipment will only work properly if its parts work properly. The better the condition of the parts, the better and longer the equipment will run. The second premise is that people use plant and equipment. The better the people interact with the plant and equipment, the better and longer the equipment will run. The third premise is that you are using the plant and equipment to build a business. The better the plant and equipment operate; the stronger and more competitive is your business. Successful Zero Breakdown Maintenance involves developing systems and skills that ensure the people and parts always work well together for the benefit of the business. Zero Breakdown Maintenance focuses on ensuring equipment parts are always in good health so your machines are always reliable. Throughout this course, you will learn to do the right maintenance rightly and do not have any repairs.
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
- Understand how you create reliable equipment
- Know the right systems that deliver zero breakdown maintenance
- Know what practices to introduce into your operation to achieve zero breakdowns
- Identify where to target your efforts in preventing breakdowns
- Develop an operations-wide strategy to eliminate defects that cause failures
