    TPM engages every­one in the orga­ni­za­tion in activ­i­ties to min­i­mize all types of equip­ment loss­es. The ben­e­fits include increased capac­i­ty, more reli­ableprocess­es, and ele­vat­ed skill lev­els. There are 8 pil­lar activ­i­ties in TPM which sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly improve equip­ment effec­tive­ness while build­ing a robust main­te­nance sys­tem. TPM can be adopt­ed ful­ly step-by-step, or selec­tive­ly to com­ple­ment a lean pro­duc­tion system.

    In this pre-record­ed, live train­ing sem­i­nar shot at the Peter­bilt Man­u­fac­tur­ing Train­ing Cen­ter in Den­ton, TX, Mike Wrob­lews­ki, a senior lean con­sul­tant from Gem­ba Con­sult­ing and the Kaizen Insti­tute explains why Total Pro­duc­tive Main­te­nance (TPM) is not option­al for lean think­ing com­pa­nies who rely on machines and equip­ment to sat­is­fy cus­tomer demand. Dur­ing this course Mike explains what TPM is, and isn’t, while also cov­er­ing impor­tant top­ics such as the 6 Big Loss­es and how to mea­sure them using the extreme­ly pow­er­ful Over­all Equip­ment Effec­tive­ness (OEE) metric.

    Focused Improve­ment is a set of activ­i­ties designed to increase the Over­all Equip­ment Effec­tive­ness, or OEE, of plants and their process­es. Learn how Focused Improve­ment tar­gets the six big loss­es one by one, the dif­fer­ent meth­ods and tools used, and how it builds the sta­bil­i­ty nec­es­sary for oth­er pil­lars of TPM.

    Autonomous Main­te­nance activ­i­ties sup­port smooth and effec­tive plant oper­a­tions by enabling oper­a­tors to detect and cor­rect equip­ment prob­lems ear­ly. This also cre­ates the capac­i­ty for an organization’s main­te­nance team to devel­op planned and pre­ven­tive capa­bil­i­ties. Learn the dif­fer­ence between basic and opti­mal con­di­tions, nat­ur­al and forced dete­ri­o­ra­tion, the sev­en types of equip­ment abnor­mal­i­ty, and the sev­en steps for get­ting start­ed with Autonomous Maintenance.
