Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a comprehensive approach to equipment maintenance that aims to maximize productivity by preventing equipment breakdowns and improving efficiency through the involvement of all employees.
TPM focuses on proactive and preventative maintenance to ensure that equipment operates at its maximum efficiency. It involves all employees, from top management to floor workers, in maintenance activities. This approach not only minimizes downtime but also improves equipment reliability and extends its lifespan, leading to cost savings and enhanced productivity.
TPM works by involving all employees in routine maintenance tasks, ensuring equipment stays in top condition. This approach reduces unexpected downtime, increases equipment efficiency, and extends machinery lifespan. For your business, TPM means fewer interruptions, lower maintenance costs, and improved productivity, leading to smoother operations and happier customers.
