N2 - The paper seeks to give a guideline on the implementation of Autonomous Maintenance in a typical manufacturing facility. It details the chronic and perennial problems besetting typical developing countries maintenance regime scenarios. It then proffers a simple but concise paradigm shift toward the adoption and use of Autonomous Maintenance. A thorough literature exposé is articulated which it is hoped should cement the benefits of Autonomous Maintenance. Autonomous Maintenance is a dynamic, teambased methodology for involving all employees in identifying and eliminating equipment related losses such as equipment failure, lengthy set-up time, inconsistent adjustment procedures, idling and minor stoppages, reduced production yields, processing defects, etc. The importance of teams in goal attainment is highlighted and finally the paper concludes by articulating the World famous 5's due to Nakajima and incorporates these in the implementation of Autonomous Maintenance.
