When an “Abnormality” Occurs, Corrective action (To Prevent Recurrence) and Preventive Action (To prevent Occurrence of Similar abnormality) Needs to be taken………!

How?

CAPA includes control points, control levels, etc. This step is the key to the improvement of your performance.

To Prevent recurrence of the abnormality, you need to understand the situation in great detail, analyze the causes at a deep level, and take action to eliminate the cause.

To prevent the occurrence in similar areas, you need preventive actions. These actions include revision of SOP’s, control points & control levels along with regular skill updation of the concerned.

Abnormality Analysis Framework

When any abnormality occurs, the root cause(s) of this abnormality must be known or analysis to be done & necessary corrective actions are required to be taken to prevent the recurrence of this particular abnormality. This corrective action brings in a gradual improvement in the performance level.

The occurrence of the abnormality can happen due to the following reasons:

SOP’s are not available

SOP’s are available, followed by the people but still, abnormality occurred.

SOP’s are available but not followed by the people

Analyze Abnormalities in the Industry Through Daily Management- Once an abnormality occurs, an analysis of the same must be done to conclude one of the above reasons due to which the abnormality happened.

Let’s Understand all the above three reasons:

a) If the conclusion is that the abnormality occurred because the SOP for doing the job was not available and the job was not done as per the standardized way, requisite standards operating procedure must be prepared by the concerned persons, all the people who are required to do this particular job must be trained and a system should be incorporated to ensure that jobs are done as per the standardized procedures.

b) While standards are available and followed, these are not adequate to achieve the desired level of performance. Therefore, these standards should be reviewed for adequacy and requisite modification should be made in these standards & training to be provided to all the concerned members.

c) While Standard operating procedures are available, these were not followed by operating people, further analysis should be done to find out the reasons behind people not following the standards

These reasons Can be:

People are not aware of the standards.

Standards are too difficult to follow.

People are aware of the standard but difficult to follow.

People are aware of the standards but knowingly not following.

Implementing Lean Maintenance System to Improve Factory Performance

Need for 100% uptime of machines from the production department has never gone out of demand.  Day to day production needs are always to be met to meet delivery performance and revenue of the organisation.  One may ask if zero maintenance time is really possible. Imagining a condition when a flight is already in the air and it needs maintenance in mid air.

Can we send a maintenance engineer to repair things in mid air?

Any maintenance needs are to be performed when there is break time or when production is not scheduled.  Preventive maintenance time allocation in such cases becomes essential so that the machine performs to its fullest potential during its intended working hours.

Lean maintenance system works in combination of Total Productive maintenance, Reliability centred maintenance,  Lean methods and TQM as integrated system. The ultimate goal is to eliminate the need for maintenance during production or Zero maintenance time.

We can call maintenance strategies into three broad categories:

Maintenance done only upon a breakdown

Periodic or preventive maintenance

Condition based corrective maintenance

Related Article– How to improve Office performance through Lean thinking and Lean management

In a lean maintenance system, maintenance planning is done based on the priority categories.

Priority category : 1

This can be classified into a critical category of maintenance.  In this category, if the machine gets into a minor stoppage or breakdown, it can disrupt the production resulting in serious implication to customers.

Solutions to handle the machines in this category are:

Identify critical components of the machine

Do regular monitoring of the critical components for its effective functionality.

Where applicable, replace the critical component before it gets into failure. For this, MTBF and past records will help.

Have clear procedures and training to the designated people in handling these types of failures.

Keep critical spares always in stock with Kanban systems or through ERP with min-max triggers. No stock situation due to customer lead time, internal approvals, logistics issues and supplier issues should be considered in planning and FMEA.

Have a back-up maintenance plan with designated people availability during production operations too.

Ensure MTTR is well within the accepted time.

Have a redundancy  plan or back up items to take over.

Priority Category : 2

The criticality of components in this case is relatively lesser compared to Category -1.

Remaining solutions are still applicable as category 1 in this case too.

Priority Category : 3

In this, the machine is still critical for operations and it can disrupt the production. However, the implication  of machine failure is less on the customer and hence it can still be managed. Solutions are to be customised to the machines under this category.

Other machines are considered not very critical and hence moderate levels of maintenance planning can be recommended to optimise the costs and strike the right balance between performance and downtime implications.

There are two main strategic approaches for ensuring zero down time.

Maintenance during scheduled non-production time

Reducing maintenance time

For help in deciding right strategies in the maintenance system, Seven Steps Business Transformation systems can be consulted.
