is now incorporated as a routine part of asset care in Figure 5.25. The key
point is that the operators and maintainers have developed these asset care
routines on the basis that ’If it’s my idea, 1 ~7ill stick with it’.
The ninestep improvement plan provides a comprehensive analysis toolbox
capable of reducing sporadic losses to zero, providing the appropriate
infrastructure is in place. This infrastructure must include a continuous drive
to reduce chronic losses by striving for optimum conditions. Not only does
this keep people motivated to carry out the essential routine tasks, it provide
progressively higher company competence to direct towards improved
customer services.
The progressive implementation of front-line asset care and preventive
maintenance provides the improvement zone partnership to deliver such
improvement. Lf the ninestep improvement plan provides the answer to
what is required, then the improvement zone implementation process provides
the answer to how it is to be delivered. The how, where and when of this is
part of management’s role in ’creating the environment’ for TPM (discussed
in Chapter 8).
