Operator basic care (also known as operator essential care, operator driven reliability, asset basic care, or autonomous maintenance) is an equipment reliability program. Although the name and program details can vary, the general concept is to involve operators in the maintenance of their equipment. By engaging all employees, a consistent product output and quality can be maintained throughout the expected lifespan of a machine. The theory is that maintenance should be driven by operators because they spend the most time with the equipment, so they know the most about the current machine condition. Operator basic care provides a foundation for a successful predictive maintenance program. This course covers the basic concepts and best practices of Operator Basic Care programs.

Sample Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

Common inspection items include operating hours of the machine, fluid levels such as oil or fuel, process variables such as temperatures, pressures, or flows, equipment conditions such as bearing temperatures, fasteners, guarding, etc., vibration readings, and ultrasonic levels. Operator basic care inspections should be measurable and repeatable, not subjective. No matter who does the inspection, the results should be the same. A good inspection includes detailed task instructions such as, "Ensure the gearbox oil level is in the middle third of the sight glass tube," versus, "Check gearbox." Including pictures of the gauge on the inspection form and visual controls on the gauge itself, will ensure the inspection is objective.
