Reach the Sixth Sigma: Total Productive Maintenance, TPM...

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) seeks to engage all levels and functions in an organization in maximizing the overall effectiveness of production equipment. Whereas traditional preventive maintenance programs are centered in the maintenance departments, TPM seeks to involve workers in all departments and levels, from the plant-floor to senior executives, in ensuring the effective operation of equipment.

Autonomous maintenance, a key aspect of TPM, trains and focuses workers to take care of the equipment and machines with which they work. TPM addresses the entire production system lifecycle and builds a solid, plant-floor based system to prevent accidents, defects, and breakdowns. TPM focuses on preventing breakdowns (preventive maintenance), "mistake-proofing" equipment (or poka-yoke) to prevent breakdowns or to make maintenance easier (corrective maintenance), designing and installing equipment that needs little or no maintenance (maintenance prevention), and quickly repairing equipment after breakdowns occur (breakdown maintenance).

TPM's goal is the total elimination of all losses, including breakdowns, equipment setup and adjustment losses, idling and minor stoppages, reduced speed, defects and rework, spills and process upset conditions, and startup and yield losses.
