Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)
-
Total Productive Maintenance
(TPM) is a system of organized
group activities to improve
equipment effectiveness.
-
Users and operators are
responsible for the routine
inspection, maintenance, and
upkeep of their machines, as
well as minor repairs.
-
TPM is the best way to
enhance performance of longterm availability of machine.
-
Total Productive
Maintenance
(TPM) used to
fight losses such
as:
- Breakdowns
- Slow running
or small stops
- Defects
- Accidents
- Reduced yield
-
1. Select a Machine for TPM.
2. Identify Team
3. Identify list of challenges.
4. Tie a tag for each problem.
5. Assign responsibility for each team
6. Monitor OEE
7. Set target for OEE
8. Meet once/weekly to review the action
TPM's eight
pillars are
primarily
concerned with
proactive and
preventative
techniques for
increasing
equipment
effectiveness.
-
Autonomous
Maintenance
Operators are responsible
for routine maintenance
such as cleaning, lubricating,
and inspection
-
Planned
Maintenance
Schedules maintenance
activities based on predicted
and/or measured failure
rates.
-
Quality
Maintenance/
Integration
Integrate error detection and
prevention into the
manufacturing processes.
Use Root Cause Analysis to
remove repeated sources of
quality defects.
-
Focused
Improvement
Encourage groups of
employees to proactively
work to enhance equipment
operation on a regular or
incrementalbasis.
-
Early
Equipment
Management
Acquired practical experience
and understanding of
manufacturing equipment are
used to improve the design of
new machinery.
-
Training and
Education
It involves training of
operators, maintenance
workers, and managers to
learn TPM techniques to meet
TPM objectives.
-
Safety, health
and
Environment
Good maintenance
management prevents
injuries during the
maintenance and leads to the
well-being and safety of all
employees.
-
TPM in
Administration
Instead of leaving it to the
"worker bees," administrative
staff and managers should
also join TPM activities
Expert's Comment
-
TPM one of the key tools of Lean Management. A powerful and it can change the
whole efficiency of the entire manufacturing line itself as many times TPM
machines will also be pacemaker process in many manufacturing lines.
-
If you just give a thought OEE is so very well-thought-out metric. The metric OEE is
an indication of what to expect from the machine. If OEE is 90% means if the full
load capacity is 1000 the machine is capable of producing 900 good part.
