Abstract

A versatile and often used instrument in machining and manufacturing is the injection moulding machine. It is necessary for precisely and efficiently cutting and shaping a range of workpieces. Although injection molding machines are commonly used in the industry for repetitive jobs, this study focuses on the machines in the FTKIP laboratory, where they are regularly used for injection procedures with various products and specifications. Neglecting maintenance will have an impact on both the machine's functionality and the user's safety. The goal of this study was to improve the functionality of the injection moulding machines by suggesting OPL and SOP for the machines' abnormality eradication. The main objective was to study and apply the best autonomous maintenance practices for abnormalities in lathe machine at FTKIP laboratory. Fuguai analysis was carry out to find abnormalities on the injection moulding machine. Any fuguai discovered during the machine inspection will be labeled with an F-tag, indicating that the region needs more care and attention. To get rid of the anomalies discovered in the machine, a number of One-Point Lessons (OPL) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) have been implemented. However, a lack of cleaning instruments in the laboratory makes it challenging to create some SOP.
