Total Productive Maintainance

Total Productive Maintenance
Boost Capacity and Improve Quality by Increasing Your Equipment's Life Expectancy
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a process to maximize the productivity of your equipment for its entire life. TPM fosters an environment where improvement efforts in Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost and Creativity are encouraged, through the participation of all employees. The goal of TPM is to maximize your Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and to reduce equipment downtime to zero while improving quality and capacity.
Benefits
Typical manufacturing operations have experienced improvements in the following areas in a relatively short period of time (6-12 months) through the implementation of TPM:
  • Overall Equipment Effectiveness (capacity) improvement of 25-65%
  • Quality improvement of 25-50%
  • Maintenance expenditure reductions of 10-50%
  • Percent planned vs. unplanned maintenance increase of 10-60%
