Autonomous Maintenance, run on the zone you own, makes you the team leader whose equipment never goes down.
Autonomous Maintenance — Jishu Hozen in its original Japanese — unfolds in seven steps, and at the Ninja level you own the first three in your own zone. You lead the initial cleaning that uncovers every hidden defect, eliminate sources of contamination and open up the hard-to-reach spots, and build the provisional standards the line runs on every shift.
Your operators stop reporting breakdowns after the fact. They catch the chatter, the heat, the weep — and they tag them on the Fuguai board before the stoppage happens.
You are no longer waiting for maintenance to come. Your area is the one where the maintenance team comes to learn.
Course Content
Apply Autonomous Maintenance in Your Own Area Without Guessing — Even If You Were Never Properly Shown How
This practical training shows you how to take ownership of a zone, execute the first steps correctly, and avoid the mistakes that cause most implementations to fail.
The Reality on the Floor
You’re expected to make things work.
Not discuss them. Not suggest ideas.
Make them work.
And when something like Autonomous Maintenance comes in, the expectation is clear — apply it, get results, don’t create new problems.
The issue is… nobody really shows you how to do that properly.
You get fragments. Concepts. A few slides. Maybe a workshop.
Then you’re back in your area, trying to make it real.
So you test things. Adjust. Try to make sense of what should happen.
And all the while, there’s one thought in the background:
If this fails, it’s on me.
Inside this training, you’ll get:
- What actually needs to happen during the initial cleaning — and what most people miss that causes problems later
- How to identify and eliminate sources of contamination without creating extra work for your team
- The difference between “doing the steps” and actually stabilizing a zone
- What to look for on a machine to understand its real condition — not just what’s written in procedures
- How to apply the first steps of Autonomous Maintenance in a way that holds up under daily production pressure
Why You Need This Now
Right now, you’re expected to deliver.
Even if the instructions are unclear. Even if the training was incomplete.
That doesn’t change the outcome you’re responsible for.
And the risk isn’t just that something doesn’t work.
It’s that it makes things worse.
Loss of time. Loss of trust. More scrutiny the next time you’re involved.
Most people deal with this by moving carefully. Avoiding decisions. Waiting for more clarity.
That slows everything down.
And it doesn’t remove the risk — it just delays it.
Built by the Kaizen Coach Team
This training comes from a group of Lean coaches working directly inside production environments for more than 20 years.
Not building slides. Not running one-off workshops.
Working on the floor, where things either hold up… or fail fast.
Across different industries and plants, we’ve been involved in implementing the same methodologies you’re expected to apply — including Autonomous Maintenance.
And we’ve seen the gap clearly:
Most people are asked to execute… without ever being shown how to make it work in real conditions.
This training is built to remove that gap.
Real-World Experience Behind the Training
The approach comes from work done with teams inside companies like:
- Sanofi
- Rio Tinto
- Henkel
- Electrolux
- Ferrero
- De’Longhi
In these environments, results are not optional. If something doesn’t work, it shows immediately.
Most failures don’t come from lack of effort. They come from applying methods incorrectly — or without enough clarity.
This training is designed to prevent that.
Apply Autonomous Maintenance With Confidence — Not Trial and Error
You already know what’s expected.
The question is whether you want to keep figuring it out as you go… or follow a structured approach that works in real operations.
This training gives you a clear way to apply Autonomous Maintenance in your own area — without guessing.
