Colour coded lubrication points
Here all the lubrication points on the machine are marked up colour coded and numbered so TPM lubrication routines can be carried out easily by operators or maintenance. Each machine has a corresponding A3 lubrication map at its information point for all lube point on the machine.
The lubrication map follows the 5R lubrication principle. RIGHT point / RIGHT lube / RIGHT quantity / RIGHT frequency / RIGHT method.

CIL (Cleaning, Inspection and Lubrication) point labelling
This is an example of how to best show where certain Cleaning / Inspection / Lubrication points are during a maintenance or TPM routine.
The numbered points correspond to checks detailed on Standard Work instruction and helps personnel find the correct points easier and faster ensuring the right work gets carried out.

Adjustable sensor positions
Here the proximity sensors are on adjustable slots that where designed into the plate by the OEM to help with initial setup of the machine. They positions should never need change, if they do its likely because that something is worn and hence the worn item should be changed out.
The plate could also be re-engineered with fixed holes however the small blue arrow markings show exactly where each sensor should sit if they ever need changed in future.

Floor markings for bins
Clearly defined area's where bins must sit ensure that nothing else is likely to be left there and block the space unintendedly.
