Abstract

Total preventive maintenance (TPM) is a lean manufacturing technique that focus on the improvement of the equipment reliability and condition. Prevention of machine breakdowns is the main issue that related to the preventive maintenance (PM). PM is among several tools of the TPM beside Kaizen, 5S and so on. PM is an important strategy used by many sectors and industries to fix irregularities and incidents before they arise, maintaining optimal operating efficiency and reliability. Healthcare is one the sector that use PM strategy in their daily management. The objective of this research is to study the current milling machine condition, to analyse the maintenance issues relate to milling machine and to propose preventive maintenance into milling machine. The first step is to know the condition of the machine by go through the checklist existed and interview the personal that supervise the laboratory. Next, doing the early cleaning and eliminate the source of contamination that will congest the machine and by the time will affect the machine ability to do the operation. Lastly, form the data collected, the implementation of the fuguai tag and schedule checklist will help the prevention of the machine breakdowns. This study is focus within the Machining Technology Laboratory at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). The primary area of study is on the milling machine. The main method to execute this study is by know the current machine condition, analyse the step of the preventive maintenance, and find the solution in getting the high reliability of the machine. By implementing all three methods, there are 3 machines that having a breakdown, 4 need are regular maintenance and remaining eight machine that are on the good condition. This machine been tagged with three different colours of the fuguai tag that differentiate by the degree of their condition. The checklist also will help the personal to do the schedule and regular maintenance activities in this laboratory. This will help the personal in charge to detect any early sign of breakdowns and to know which machine need to be prioritise first. As conclusion, this method helps the machine from getting worst and having an issue that will affect the reliability of itself.
