Plant & Equipment Visual Maintenance Board
HY-‐GRADE PRECAST CONCRETE St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada
What is a Visual Maintenance Board
• It is a board that has pictures of equipment and the manufacturing facility broken down into secNons.
• It is a common place for all equipment keys to hung.
• At a glance it’s stop light gauging visually shows the status of the plant and every piece of equipment in it.
What drove the idea?
-‐ Individuals were not always reporNng issues to the same person. -‐ calls were being made mulNple Nmes for the same issue. -‐ supervisors were told about the same issue from different people. -‐ “KEYS” – where or who has the keys? -‐ MulNple pieces of equipment, so exactly which one is it? -‐ small issues inside the plant were not being taken care of or not being reported.
HY-‐GRADE’S Maintenance Board
Why the need for Visual Maintenance?
• Stop light gauging • Red – Equipment failure and is inoperable. • Yellow -‐ operaNonal but requires maintenance ASAP. • Green – Good to go!
Status of the enNre plant at a glance
• Team Leaders and Supervisor can review and log areas and equipment in one area.
• Status of plant and equipment is visual to all EE’s. • Changing shi[ can see equipment status before entering the work area.
Centralized Maintenance
• Next to the picture of each piece of equipment is a hook to hang the keys.
• Standardized area for keys instead of having to search for them.
