TPM Pillar 1 Deep-Dive Assessment

Autonomous Maintenance Deep-Dive Assessment

Jishu Hozen — JIPM Pillar 1

This deep-dive assessment examines your Autonomous Maintenance practices across 27 detailed questions in 6 subcategories, based on the JIPM 7-step Autonomous Maintenance model.

Unlike the main TPM assessment which covers all 8 pillars at a high level, this deep-dive provides a granular view of your AM maturity — identifying specific strengths and improvement opportunities within operator-driven equipment care.

27 questions across 6 subcategories · 15-20 minutes · Based on JIPM 7-step model

  • ◆ 1.1 Initial Cleaning & Inspection (5 questions)
  • ◆ 1.2 Contamination Source Elimination (4 questions)
  • ◆ 1.3 CIL Standards (5 questions)
  • ◆ 1.4 General Inspection & Competence (5 questions)
  • ◆ 1.5 Autonomous Inspection & Discipline (4 questions)
  • ◆ 1.6 Visual Management & Organization (4 questions)

Completed the main TPM assessment? This deep-dive builds on your results, providing a detailed breakdown of your Autonomous Maintenance practices. Your main TPM Pillar 1 score gives you the overview — this assessment gives you the action plan.

Important Disclaimer: This assessment is a self-evaluation tool for educational and awareness purposes. Results do NOT constitute formal TPM certification or professional audit. Organizations seeking formal TPM implementation audits should engage qualified JIPM-certified professionals.

Subcategory 1 of 6 5 questions

1.1 Initial Cleaning & Inspection

Focus: Thorough cleaning as a form of inspection; discovering abnormalities and hidden defects through hands-on equipment contact.

1. Do operators perform structured initial cleaning activities that serve as equipment inspection events?

2. Are abnormalities discovered and documented during initial cleaning events?

3. Are hidden defects identified through inspection behind covers, under guards, and inside enclosures?

4. Are cleaning tools, supplies, and equipment readily available at designated storage locations near the equipment?

5. Are initial cleaning results documented with abnormality counts, photos, and before/after evidence?

Subcategory 2 of 6 4 questions

1.2 Contamination Source Elimination

Focus: Systematically identifying and eliminating sources of contamination, leaks, and hard-to-access areas that cause accelerated deterioration.

6. Are contamination sources (leaks, dust, spillage, debris) systematically identified and catalogued?

7. Are root causes of contamination addressed rather than just cleaning symptoms?

8. Are hard-to-access areas improved with countermeasures such as quick-release covers, transparent guards, or inspection windows?

9. Is progress on contamination source elimination tracked and trended over time?

Subcategory 3 of 6 5 questions

1.3 Cleaning, Inspection & Lubrication (CIL) Standards

Focus: Development of operator-owned CIL standards that define what to clean, inspect, and lubricate — including methods, frequencies, and time targets.

10. Have formal CIL (Cleaning, Inspection, Lubrication) standards been developed by operators for their equipment?

11. Do CIL standards include visual aids (photos, diagrams) and time targets for each task?

12. Is compliance with CIL standards tracked and reported?

13. Are CIL standards regularly reviewed and improved by operators based on field experience?

14. Do CIL standards cover all critical equipment components including safety-critical and hard-to-access points?

Subcategory 4 of 6 5 questions

1.4 General Inspection & Operator Competence

Focus: Building operator ability to detect abnormalities across multiple subsystems (mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, instrumentation) through structured training and knowledge transfer.

15. Can operators detect abnormalities across multiple equipment subsystems (mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, instrumentation)?

16. Is there a structured operator competence assessment and skills matrix for AM tasks?

17. What percentage of operators have completed the structured general inspection training program?

18. Can operators explain the function and potential failure modes of their equipment?

19. Is there an effective knowledge transfer process between experienced and new operators for AM skills?

Subcategory 5 of 6 4 questions

1.5 Autonomous Inspection & Process Discipline

Focus: Ensuring AM activities are embedded in daily routines with consistent execution, proper escalation, and management oversight.

20. Are AM inspection results systematically tracked and trended to identify recurring issues?

21. Is there a clear escalation process for abnormalities that exceed operator capability to resolve?

22. Are AM activities fully integrated into shift routines rather than treated as separate or extra tasks?

23. Is there an AM audit system with regular management review and feedback to operators?

Subcategory 6 of 6 4 questions

1.6 Visual Management & Workplace Organization

Focus: Using visual controls, 5S/6S integration, and team-level displays to make equipment condition and AM performance visible at a glance.

24. Is comprehensive visual management applied to equipment (direction arrows, gauge ranges, lubrication points, flow direction indicators)?

25. Are 5S/6S workplace organization principles integrated with AM activities?

26. Are equipment status boards and condition tracking systems visible at the team level?

27. Is AM performance data visually displayed and actively reviewed in shift meetings or team huddles?
