Total Productive Maintenance is a comprehensive approach to equipment maintenance aimed at flawless production: zero defects, zero breakdowns and zero accidents. Rather than treating maintenance as something that happens when a machine stops, TPM makes equipment predictable, and makes the people who operate it part of keeping it that way.
This one-day awareness course covers the fundamentals: the TPM pillars, Overall Equipment Effectiveness and the losses it exposes, autonomous and preventive maintenance, and root cause analysis that stops problems returning. It is a proactive maintenance approach built on operator involvement, continuous improvement and cross-functional teamwork.
What You Will Learn
Course Content
OEE: Overall Equipment Effectiveness is the key TPM metric, measuring equipment productivity across availability, performance efficiency and product quality. It is how an organisation finds the losses that are otherwise invisible in a production report.
What You Will Gain
More output from the machines you already own.
A secure working environment pursued through a zero-accident strategy.
Maintenance and production working as one team rather than two.
People and equipment developed together rather than separately.
Reliability sufficient for equipment to run with minimal intervention.
Lean production supported by equipment that does not surprise you.
Who Should Attend
Before You Begin
Note: the training suits beginners as well as experienced professionals who want to strengthen their understanding of maintenance and equipment improvement practices, which makes it workable for a mixed production and maintenance group.
