maintaining and supporting the equipment, which are then standardized as
the best practice routine across all shifts.
Figure 5.27 summarizes the relationship between standard operation,
techniques for asset care and the right tools, spares, facilities and equipment.

The right tools, Achieved through:
training
facilities, communication
equipment correct application
consistent application

Figure 5.27 Best practice

Standard operation ensures:
0 reduced chance of error and risk
0 removal of performance irregularity
0 elimination of poor operation as a cause of problem
0 simplified training within and between shifts

When launching a pilot, we should consider:
0 What is the best method of operating our pilot?
0 Does the team agree?
0 Does each shift agree?
0 Do the key contacts agree?
0 How do we train people to operate this method? (single-point lessons)
0 How do we communicate this method to each shift? (visual managmmt)
0 How do we make it easy to do it right and difficult to do it wrong?
(improvements)

For each piece of equipment we need to estabLish the best practice for:
provision of tools
0 provision of spares
0 monitoring instruments
0 outside contracts
