1. Introduction

On October 10, 2024; We attended a pedagogical workshop focused on ̎ Implementing total productive
maintenance (TPM) in education ,̎ held at the mechanical workshop in IFMIA Casablanca, TPM
originally, developed in the manufacturing sector, emphasizes proactive maintenance and continuous
improvement to enhance productivity and efficiency. This workshop aimed to explore how these
principles can be applied to educational environments to optimize resource management and improve
overall teaching effectiveness.

the workshop provided valuable insights into integrating TPM strategies within classroom settings.
Speakers, including Mr. Imad Oubaih, highlighted the potential for TPM to foster a culture of
collaboration and continuous improvement among staff and students.

2. Implementational of 5S mode
The absence of 5S implementation in the mechanical workshop leads to significant disorganization and
inefficiency. Without the practices of Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain, tools and
materials become cluttered, causing workers to waste time searching for items. This disarray increases
safety risks, as hazardous materials may not be stored correctly. Additionally, the lack of
standardization results in inconsistent work quality and missed opportunities for continuous
improvement. Overall, not utilizing the 5S methodology negatively impacts productivity and safety in the
workshop.

3. Machines organizations:
3.1 Observations on machines organizations

During the workshop, it became evident that the organization of machines was suboptimal. Equipment
was cluttered and not clearly labeled, making it challenging for participants to locate necessary tools
quickly.
the installation of the new machines was not conducted properly. Many machines were not calibrated
correctly, which resulted in inaccurate outputs n the installation of the new machines was not
conducted properly. Many machines were not calibrated correctly, which resulted in inaccurate outputs

 3.2 Recommendation

To enhance future workshops, I recommend implementing a more structured layout for the machines,
including clear labeling and designated storage areas. Additionally, conducting a brief orientation on the
equipment at the start of the workshop could help participants navigate the space more effectively.

4. Bad/Good positioning of workers

The mechanical workshop contains signs for where the machine user should stand to ensure his safety and
reduce his movements while working, but not in an organized and usable manner.
For that we can say that the mechanical workshop has a bad position of workers, and this greatly affects the
safety of workers and many causes many accidents.
For example:

This is how the workplace or the

post should be, by using red tape
so that the worker knows where
he should n front of the machine

Most of machines in the workshop

do not have designated places for
position for workers and tools
used in the process

5. Machines environment
the environment of this mechanical workshop is cluttered and chaotic, with tools strewn about
haphazardly and machinery in disrepair. The absence of safety measures is glaring; there are no
proper guards on machines, and wires dangle dangerously. Dust and grease coat the surfaces,
indicating a lack of consistent cleaning, which contributes to a slip hazard. The overall atmosphere is
one of neglect, where the potential for accidents looms large, making it an unsuitable place
for effective work.

6. Leaks, Oil, Water and Risks

During our visit to this workshop, we noticed many risks including the presence of machines in the user
corridor, lack of work supplies in place and replacing them with leftover pars, presence of machinery oil
on the ground, which may lead to slipping or burring, throwing cables in the middle of the workers
corridor. And the peaks are everywhere, which may lead to physical injuries.

7. Tools organizations
Unorganized tools create a chaotic workspace hindering efficiency and increasing the risk of
accidents. Tools are scattered, misplaced, and often damaged due to improper storage. Searching for
the right tool wastes valuable time, disrupting workflow and potentially delaying project completion.
Furthermore, a cluttered environment increases the likelihood of injuries from tripping hazard or
accidental cuts from carelessly stored sharp instruments.

The overall impact is reduced productivity, increased costs due to tool damage or replacement; and a
generally unsafe working environment.

8. Clutter, Waste and rubbish

From the previous observation of the workshop, we notice a collection of waste, clutter, and rubbish,
which can cause significant safety hazards and reduce efficiency in the mechanical workshop. When
waste and rubbish accumulate, and tools or parts are scattered, it becomes difficult to work efficiently,
and the risk of accidents increases. Clutter can lead to injuries, equipment damage, and contamination
of workspaces. To maintain a safe and productive environment, it is important to regularly dispose of
waste, organize tools, and keep the workspace clean and free of rubbish. Proper organization helps
improve workflow and ensures safety for everyone in the workshop.

9. Visual factory and Labeling
The lack of a visual factory in the workshop causes confusion and delays, as workers spend more time
finding tools, materials, or understanding job instructions. This lack of clear visual cues, such as
signage, labels, or workflow charts, leads to inconsistent practices, lowering productivity. Additionally,
safety risks increase because hazards and emergency equipment aren’t clearly marked, making it
harder to follow safety protocols efficiently. Ultimately, the absence of visual management hampers
both operational flow and safety compliance.

10. Lack and avaibility of information machines

The importance of a user guide, operation mode, and purpose in the workplace cannot be overstated:

User Guide : This is essentially the roadmap for using a device or software correctly. It ensures users
understand how to operate it safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of errors and accidents. A well-
written user guide can also save time, as employees won't need to figure things out through trial and
error.

Operation Mode : Knowing the correct operation mode for machinery or software ensures that it's
used optimally. It helps in maintaining the longevity of the equipment and ensures that it operates
within safe parameters, preventing damage or dangerous situations.

Purpose: Clearly defining the purpose of a tool, machine, or software helps employees understand
why they are using it and what they aim to achieve. This clarity boosts productivity as everyone is
aligned on the goals and can work more effectively towards them.

When these three elements are well-defined and communicated, they enhance efficiency, safety, and
productivity in the workplace

To really nail this down, it would be beneficial to:

Create detailed user guides for each machine, outlining step-by-step instructions, safety
precautions, and troubleshooting tips.

Implement clear operation modes for the machines, so users know exactly how to use them in
different scenarios.

Use labels that not only name the machine but also provide key information at a glance, like
basic operating steps or safety reminders.

11. Safety
Every manufacturing workshop must have full safety conditions in order to protect the employee, they
must also have protection signs.but when we turned the workshop in the manufacturing area, we noticed
that there was a kind of security negligence, including oil leaks, sharp pieces on the floor and many other
things.that mean 5s was not applied properly.

Despite all these problems the workshop has safely marks help to reinforce the safety training employees
receive and maintain a high level of safety awareness. By constantly reminding employees of the
potential hazards in their environment and the precautions should take. Moreover, we have evacuation
plan to help facilitate safe evacuation in case of workplace emergency. Also there is evacuation assembly
point to provide a safe area for individuals while waiting for emergency personnel to respond, for
evacuation Exit help to direct people to the nearest way out the buildings. In the manufacturing area we
have many fire extinguishers in order to intervene in a timely manner.

12. Conclusion

To sum up all of this information, our visit was a little bit disappointing because of a lot of factors. First,
there is no implementation of the 5S. The machines and the tools are not organized, there was dirt and
leaks in the workshop, which increases the risk of hazards. Additionally, there is a lack of information
for machines. However, there is respect for safety in this place by providing evacuation plans,
directions, exits, assembly points, and fire extinguishing tools . so we suggested some solutions:

Implement 5S principles: This involves sorting, setting in order, shining (cleaning), standardizing, and
sustaining. Implementing 5S can help organize the workspace, reduce clutter, and create a safer work
environment.

Develop and distribute detailed user guides: Ensure that each machine has a comprehensive user
guide with step-by-step instructions, safety precautions, and troubleshooting tips.

Establish clear operation modes: Define and communicate the correct operation modes for each
machine to ensure optimal and safe use.

Improve labelling: Use informative labels that provide key information at a glance, such as basic
operating steps or safety reminders.

Regular maintenance: Schedule regular maintenance to prevent dirt buildup and leaks, which can
cause hazards and reduce efficiency.
