Lean Smart Maintenance for Machine Tools

The Lean Smart Maintenance concept has been developed to provide an optimal and targeted maintenance strategy. By implementing this concept, manufacturing companies can achieve an efficient maintenance program for their CNC machines, which is a crucial component in ensuring the continued operation and the overall success of the manufacturing process. Moreover, maintenance resources are minimized as maintenance measures are performed more effectively. Both planned and unplanned shutdowns are considered. In this paper, the focus is on a comprehensive consideration of maintenance in a SAP-based, medium-sized company with an inhomogeneous machine park and the digital networking of all departments. The data-based model follows a centralized approach from the maintenance technician’s mobile device, over the warehouse management of the maintenance to sales information with the use of advanced planning and scheduling software.
