Roles & Qualification.

Introduction:

The intent of this chapter is to describe the different roles that will support the implementation of the Autonomous Maintenance pillar within a site, the skill level required for each role and the qualification process to achieve the required skill level.

ROLES

The following are pillar roles that need to be in place:

AM Pillar Committee Member Roles:

The guidelines in the previous chapter indicate that the site AM pillar committee should include members from each unique business/department depending on your site structure. As indicated above, the department owners have specific responsibility for administering the pillar work process in their business area. This ensures consistent application of AM standards across the site. The department owners also have responsibility to coach their department on the team work process. It is very important during the pillar committee chartering process to clearly distinguish those two responsibilities for the department owners. It is also helpful to establish specific responsibilities of the pillar committee members for each of the elements of the pillar work process.

AM Team Member Roles:

Several roles are required to implement the seven step process. It is very important that every member of the AM team owns a specific responsibility in order to increase overall participation and total employee involvement.

The description of these roles is listed as follows. These roles may be modified based on the specific situation in each site.
