AM7 - Autonomous Maintenance: 7 Step To Operator's Journey to Empowerment

About the Course

This course highlights the importance and benefits of introducing an Autonomous Maintenance program and what it can achieve when correctly applied in the workplace. Autonomous Maintenance involves activities where each worker performs daily cleaning, lubrication, inspection, and parts replacement to establish Basic Equipment Condition.


The course emphasizes that Autonomous Maintenance is not merely the transfer of tasks to operators but also teaching them that their responsibility extends beyond just operating the machine. It aims to change the mindset of operators from the traditional “I fix, you operate” to “we operators take care of our equipment together.” Maintenance can only escape the vicious cycle of being reactive if operators partner with them in improving the reliability of their equipment.
