Total Productive Maintenance

TPM is a programme that depends on teamwork to continually improve equipment effectiveness.  A fundamental measure of effectiveness is OEE which measures three key elements of equipment; Availability, Performance and Quality output.

TPM consists of 7 building blocks:

• Autonomous Maintenance
• Training and Coaching
• Planned Maintenance
• Overall Equipment Effectiveness
• Small Group Activity
• Early Equipment Management
• Motivation Management

Our approach is based on selecting and implementing the building blocks that are necessary in your organisation and which will bring the greatest benefit to you.

Successful TPM programmes can increase machine capacity utilisation by 50% and OEE values from an average of 40% to >85%.
