Lean Maintenance
Lean Maintenance is a maintenance strategy that focuses on eliminating waste and improving efficiency in the maintenance process. It is based on the principles of Lean Manufacturing, which is a system of production and management that seeks to reduce waste and maximize value. Lean Maintenance focuses on streamlining processes, reducing costs, and improving the quality of maintenance operations. It involves the use of tools such as 5S, Kaizen, and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) to identify and eliminate waste, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. Lean Maintenance also emphasizes the importance of preventive maintenance, which helps to reduce the need for corrective maintenance and improve equipment reliability.
