New Guide Provides A Quick Introduction To TPM
Graphic Products' latest lean manufacturing guide provides a quick introduction to Total Productive Maintenance (TPM).

Total Productive Maintenance is a lean manufacturing technique that places the responsibility for machine and equipment routine maintenance and servicing in the hands of the operators. It is also sometimes called Total Process Management. In both cases the acronym is TPM.

The goal of TPM is to have zero errors, zero work-related accidents and zero loses. By having the operators responsible to routine maintenance this creates a process that results in constant monitoring of machines and equipment that prevents downtime, costly repairs, and lost production, while improving employee job satisfaction.

TPM focuses on five objectives:

1. Improving equipment efficiency
2. Autonomous maintenance by equipment operators
3. Having major maintenance planned and scheduled in advance
4. A staff trained in redundant maintenance skills
5. Avoid downtime by practicing preventive maintenance

To learn more about TPM request your free Guide To TPM from Graphic Products.
