Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) places particular emphasis on allowing managers, maintenance staff and equipment users all working collaboratively to overcome challenges associated with various equipment to cut down on costs. It is imperative to give responsibility and ownership of the equipment to competent personnel to reduce breakdowns. The concept of 5S promoted by lean Manufacturing provides a methodical strategy for setting standards and visual indicators for avoiding breakdowns and ensuring the smooth operation of your equipment.
