HAPS AM Pillar
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the main goal of the AM Pillar? | To empower operators to take ownership of their equipment and proactively maintain its basic conditions. |
| What are the four core Daily Management Systems (DMS) in AM? | CIL (Clean, Inspect, Lubricate), CL (Center Lining), Defect Handling, and Changeover. |
| Why is operator ownership important in AM? | It enables early detection of abnormalities, reduces reliance on maintenance teams, and fosters a culture of continuous improvement. |
| What does CIL stand for and why is it critical? | Clean, Inspect, Lubricate – it ensures equipment is maintained to prevent breakdowns and forced deterioration. |
| What is the purpose of Center Lining (CL)? | To standardize machine settings and reduce variation and setup losses. |
| How does AM reduce unplanned downtime? | By shifting from reactive to proactive maintenance and enabling early detection and correction of issues. |
| What are the first three steps of CIL training in Phase 0? Initial cleaning | What is the role of Equipment Owners (EOs)? |
| How is AM integrated with the PM Pillar? | By transferring suitable tasks like lubrication to operators and aligning AM routines with PM schedules. |
| What tools support continuous improvement in AM? | FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and BDA (Breakdown Analysis). |
| What are the success measures of AM implementation? | Reduced unplanned downtime, improved equipment reliability, adherence to AM schedules, and operator proficiency. |
| What is the focus of Step 1 in the 7 Steps of AM? | Initial cleaning to eliminate forced deterioration and begin building ownership. |
| What happens in Step 4: General Inspection Training? | Operators learn to detect early signs of wear and use visual tools and checklists for inspections. |
| What is achieved in Step 7: Full Autonomous Maintenance? | Operators fully own equipment care, using PDCA cycles to maintain optimal conditions with minimal intervention. |
| Who supports the AM teams beyond operators and technicians? | Cross-functional support from Engineering, Quality, EHS, and CI teams. |
| What is the purpose of Phase 0 in AM implementation? | Phase 0 focuses on building foundational capabilities such as training on CIL steps, establishing CL standards, and identifying sources of contamination and hard-to-access areas. |
| How are AM DMS boards used in daily operations? | They visualize performance, track improvements, and serve as tools during Gemba walks and Daily Direction Setting (DDS) meetings. |
| What is the role of Servant Leadership in AM? | Leaders support AM by coaching, being present on the floor (Gemba), and enabling operator ownership and problem-solving. |
| How does AM support a culture of continuous improvement? | By empowering operators to identify and solve problems, use tools like FMEA and BDA, and implement feedback loops for ongoing enhancement. |
| What are Sources of Contamination (SoC) and why are they important in AM? | SoC are elements that cause equipment deterioration. Eliminating them is crucial for maintaining basic conditions and preventing breakdowns. |
| What are Hard-to-Access (HTA) areas and how are they addressed? | HTA areas are parts of equipment that are difficult to clean or inspect. AM addresses them by modifying equipment to improve accessibility. |
| What is the significance of standardizing AM activities across shifts? | Standardization ensures consistency, sustainability, and equal ownership of equipment care across all teams. |
| How does AM contribute to skill development among operators? | It builds technical capability through hands-on training, inspection routines, and ownership of basic maintenance tasks. |
| What is the role of cross-functional support in AM? | Engineering, Quality, EHS, and CI teams collaborate to ensure holistic equipment care and support AM implementation. |
| How are AM routines developed and implemented? | They are standardized for priority assets, integrated into DMS, and made visible and trackable on the shop floor. |
