In today's manufacturing industries, companies are continuously seeking ways to improve plant performance through continuous improvement tools such as TPM. Although TPM originated in Japan, its principles are not culture bound; they can be applied in any plant as long as people embrace TPM as a way of life.

Key points include:

• Employee Involvement:

  TPM improves manufacturing processes by empowering employees and using closed-loop measurement of results.

• Best Practices from Japan:

  Learn and apply the basic principles of TPM and the correct implementation methods as patterned by the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance (JIPM).

• Structure and Clarity:

  Understand what Total Productive Maintenance is and how to implement it successfully from the start. Discover the pitfalls of TPM,

  learn from others’ failures, and decide if TPM is right for your plant.

• Measurement:

  Understand the different ways of measuring Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and the goals each TPM pillar should achieve.
