Green PM

Talking about Green PM is not as easy as talking about green field. There are many things incorporated on that. But what exactly is Green PM? I remember Hazel, our new technician who just recently joined the group. She was asking about Green PM and when it can be Green PM. At first it was difficult for us to explain since she need to understand first all the indicators we were tracking.

So to give you a background, PM can be classify as green when all criteria we set are being met. Safety, Quality, Run in cotrol, availability and PM time are the criteria that we set. First of course there's no safety issues encountered during PM or Preventive Maintenance. Then of course no quality issues after PM and aside from that the quality of our PM should exceed expectation as much as possible. We should also perform the PM within the defined time schedule, it should be within or less than the PM time. But PM does not end there because we are also measuring the performance of the machine after PM. As much as possible tool availability is greater than the set value for at least 4 consecutive shift, much better if it will not be down until such time that it is due for PM again.

It will only be considered Green PM if all the set criteria are being met. Sounds ideal but the truth is until now we are still working hard to meet our goal for the Green PM. But we are positive that when we implement the changes that we were driving, time will come that Green PM will be easier. I hope we will!
