“I Own and I Operate” is the main principle in the TPM culture. Involvement of every operator, supervisor and the manager in keeping the machine condition and working condition in a good manner. This should be achieved with Kaizens and TPM circles. Since the technology upgrades continuously, the need for upgrading the operator also becomes equally important.
JH means Autonomous Maintenance i.e., maintaining one’s own machine by doing CLI RT effectively.
The alphabets in CLI RT means,
C – Cleaning
L – Lubrication
I - Inspection
RT- Retighten.
Following are the principles of JH.
a. Everybody maintains his own machine.
b. Thinking Process changes from ‘I operate, you maintain it” to ‘I operate, I maintain it’.
c. Operator should do able to Cleaning, oiling, Inspection and retightening on his own. Operator must not be dependant on the maintenance person, when he himself is capable of doing each one of the above pertaining to his own machine.
d. Only when the production machine changes (condition improves), we will notice change in our attitude and approach.
