PM4P - Planned Maintenance: 4 Phases To Zero Unplanned Breakdown

About the Course

This course covers the principles of TPM Planned Maintenance:

4 Phases to Zero Unplanned Breakdown Strategy.


Phase 1: Stabilizing MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures):

Main Activity: Restoration by establishing basic equipment conditions.

Goal: Ensure equipment is restored to its optimal operating condition to stabilize MTBF.


Phase 2: Addressing Equipment Weaknesses:

Main Activity: Identifying and addressing design weaknesses.

Goal: Prolong the lifespan of parts by improving their design and addressing any inherent weaknesses.


Phase 3: Developing a Maintenance Tasks Selection Diagram:

Main Activity: Creating a diagram to classify parts based on different maintenance tasks.

Goal: Organize and prioritize maintenance activities to ensure efficient and effective maintenance planning.


Phase 4: Predicting Failures:

Main Activity: Implementing Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) and using diagnostic tools. maintenance tasks.

Goal: Monitor the condition of parts and predict failures to prevent unplanned breakdowns.


Course Objective:

  • Provide a detailed and structured approach through the application of TPM’s Planned Maintenance.

  • Realize the importance of establishing basic equipment condition in our equipment.

  • Provide an understanding of what Planned Maintenance is and what it aims to achieve.

  • Learn how to implement the four phases of Planned Maintenance as well as understand the six failure patterns and how they affect us in our day-to-day operations.


Why Attend This Course?

  • LEARN how to start up and organize your TPM Planned Maintenance pillar and what are the most important preparations you need to undertake in implementing Planned Maintenance in your plant.

  • LEARN what support Autonomous Maintenance needs from the Planned Maintenance pillar.

  • LEARN the details on how to integrate RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance) into the higher phases/steps of Planned Maintenance. Find out if TPM and RCM contradict or complement each other.

  • DISCOVER what JIPM consultants are looking for in your Planned Maintenance activities.

  • LEARN how to implement Planned Maintenance right the first time and avoid costly mistakes by seeing what works and what does not.

  • LEARN how to prepare and develop the Planned Maintenance “MASTER PLAN”.

  • LEARN what it takes to implement Planned Maintenance.

  • FINALLY, ask yourself, “Is my plant ready for the Planned Maintenance

experience?”
