Organizing Operator-Driven Maintenance
Operators as the first line for daily maintenance. This book shows how to implement autonomous maintenance for early problem detection and better asset care.

This book is written for everyone who wants to implement autonomous maintenance:
- TPM coordinators — who want to roll out the first pillar

What You Will Learn
This book follows the natural steps of a successful autonomous maintenance implementation — a journey in three phases where each chapter builds on the previous:
Laying the Foundations
Why autonomous maintenance works and why it is more relevant than ever. Organizational preparation: stakeholder management, pilot selection, and culture readiness — this determines 80% of your success. Technical knowledge for operators: from machine components to condition monitoring with the senses and safe working with LOTO procedures.
From Knowledge to Action
Selecting tasks using SMART-AM criteria, developing One Point Lessons, and 5S as foundation. Making operators competent with the TSED method — so operators not only want and are allowed to, but above all can.
Securing and Expanding Success
Addressing challenges: from resistance to time and capacity constraints, with concrete strategies to turn obstacles into opportunities. Measuring and improving with OEE as compass. Expanding from pilot to department to plant-wide rollout.
