Operator Maintenance
Discover the Benefits of Operator Maintenance
Implementing operator maintenance has several advantages that can help improve productivity and efficiency in an organization. Here are some of the key reasons:
- Increased operational reliability: By allowing machine operators to perform care and inspections, as well as carry out routine maintenance tasks, problems can be detected and addressed more quickly, reducing the risk of unplanned downtime.
- Relief for the Maintenance Department: Operator maintenance frees up time for maintenance technicians to focus on more complex and critical maintenance tasks, which can lead to improved equipment efficiency.
- Improved Equipment Knowledge: Operators who regularly maintain and inspect their equipment gain a deeper understanding of its function and can more quickly identify deviations and potential problems.
- Increased Productivity: By integrating maintenance into daily work, operators can perform minor tasks during production, reducing the need for longer maintenance interruptions.
- Cost savings: Maintenance and preventive care performed by operators can reduce the need for expensive repairs and extend the lifespan of equipment.
- Support for continuous improvement: Operator maintenance promotes a culture of continuous improvement by involving everyone in the maintenance process and encouraging proactive work.
- Understanding machine capacity: The operator becomes aware and helps measure machine capacity (OEE) and its loss model through downtime coding, as well as how to improve these.
- Increased quality: Scrap and rework decrease.
- Better working environment: By implementing 5S and training in occupational health and safety, and how the operator can influence workplace design through continuous improvement and participation in new acquisition projects, the working environment is improved.
The framework for implementing operator maintenance is a heading
Based on the need to implement operator maintenance, we provide assistance throughout the entire 7-step ladder. The implementation is carried out through theoretical sessions and practical application on selected equipment. The goal is to create value, focusing on improving the selected pilot/project by enhancing the equipment (steps 1-3) and increasing the operator's knowledge (steps 4-7). The purpose of the pilot is also to demonstrate results and serve as an internal study visit during the spread of the implementation. Depending on the desired effects of operator maintenance, one can choose how far to go in the seven-step ladder, which includes the following steps:
- Basic cleaning
- Countermeasures at the source of the problem
- Standardization
- General inspection training
- Autonomous inspection
- Organize the workplace
- Autonomous operator maintenance
Depending on the need for the chosen steps in the seven-step ladder, this will be done through our developed 'best practice' solutions/methods, templates, tools, system solutions, training, digital solutions and visual solutions from visuellafabriken.se

Recommendations for implementing operator maintenance is a heading.
Epical recommends performing steps 1-3 in a selected pilot to establish the appropriate level of operator maintenance, and then spreading this further within the organization. Steps 4-7 are then implemented step by step throughout the entire organization.
