Autonomous Maintenance (CILR) Calendar

What it is and when to use it

A small leak, a loose screw, a different sound — most equipment failures that look sudden already gave a sign. This calendar gives the person running the equipment, not just the maintenance tech, a daily CILR routine: clean, inspect, lubricate, and refasten — and makes sure it actually happens instead of “when there's time.”

What goes on the sheet

1. Equipment data: ID, area, responsible operator
2. CILR task list by component: clean / inspect / lubricate / refasten, with frequency, time, and tool needed
3. Reference point on the equipment (photo or simple diagram)
4. Check matrix: days of the month in columns, operator initials, OK/anomaly mark per day
5. Anomaly log: date, description, who was notified, resolution date
6. Escalation column: operator resolves vs. needs specialized maintenance

In a business like yours

• Restaurant: a two-minute daily wipe-and-look at the walk-in cooler gasket catches the leak before the food is lost.
• Auto repair shop: checking the lift's bolts and hoses every morning, not only when it fails.
• Commercial laundry: operators clean lint traps and listen to bearings at every shift change.
