Abstract

The milling machine is a versatile and commonly used tool in manufacturing and machining. It plays a crucial role in accurately and efficiently shaping a variety of workpieces. In the FTKIP laboratory, milling machines are frequently used for different processes with different parameters. If failure to perform regular maintenance can have a negative impact on both the machine's performance and the user's safety. This study was undertaken with the aim of improving the functionality of the milling machine by proposing OPL (One-Point Lessons) and SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) for the elimination of abnormalities. The primary objective was to investigate and implement the most effective autonomous maintenance practices for addressing abnormalities in milling machines at the FTKIP laboratory. Fuguai analysis was conducted to identify abnormalities in the milling machine. During the machine inspection, any detected fuguai is labeled with an F-tag, indicating the need for attention and subsequent actions. The implementation of various One-Point Lessons (OPL) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) has been undertaken to address and eliminate the abnormalities discovered in the milling machine. This project exclusively concentrates on the implementation of autonomous maintenance practices specifically for milling machines in the FTKIP laboratory. It does not encompass other maintenance strategies such as preventive and predictive maintenance, and it does not extend to broader organizational changes beyond the framework of autonomous maintenance within the specified manufacturing facility. Most of fuguai discovered in this study belong to the physical category, especially those that can be handled by the milling machine user and operator. This research highlights the critical role of regular maintenance in ensuring the optimal performance and safety of milling machines.
