Apply Lean Methodology to Improve Reliability of Crane

Continuous waste reduction via improvements is what LeanKaizen entails. This work demonstrates the use of the LeanKaizen concept in the seaport. Ship to shore cranesare used in container terminals at seaports. Reliability is critical since it has a direct impact on customer satisfaction and requires a substantial amount of time and money. The work's goal is to focus on current maintenance procedures, evaluate pertinent data using MAXIMO 7.5 CMMS software, and decrease variability and downtime by preventing breakdowns during vessel operations. The present condition of quay crane maintenance at a specified container terminal was documented, and a map of the current state was created. In order to bridge the discovered gap, the "5-why" technique was used to uncover root reasons, and Kaizen events were recommended as remedies. In the Lean Kaizen event, Brainstorming, DMAIC methodology, value stream map technique was applied to reduce the breakdown on container cranes by enriching the preventive maintenance plans and scheduling process.
