TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) is a holistic approach to equipment maintenance that strives to achieve perfect production:
In addition it values a safe working environment:
TPM emphasizes proactive and preventative maintenance to maximize the operational efficiency of equipment. It blurs the distinction between the roles of production and maintenance by placing a strong emphasis on empowering operators to help maintain their equipment.
The implementation of a TPM program creates a shared responsibility for equipment that encourages greater involvement by plant floor workers. In the right environment this can be very effective in improving productivity (increasing up time, reducing cycle times, and eliminating defects).
Hello
It can help you to ensure that the maintenance program is defined and implemented efficiently and effectively.
Total productive maintenance (TPM)
One of the main objectives of TPM is to increase the productivity of plant and equipment with a modest investment in maintenance. By investing in equipment maintenance, equipment losses can be prevented as :
1. Breakdown losses caused by the equipment
2. Setup and adjustment losses
3. Minor stoppage losses.
4. Speed losses
5. Quality defect and rework losses.
6. Yield losses.
