Total Productive Maintainance (TPM)
MAINTAINANCE(TPM)
1. Adoption of life cycle approach for improving the overall performance of production equipment.
2. Improving productivity by highly motivated workers which is achieved by job enlargement.
3. The use of voluntary small group activities for identifying the cause of failure, possible plant and equipment modifications.
Uniqueness of TPM
The major difference between TPM and other concepts is that the operators are also made to involve in the maintenance process. The concept of "I ( Production operators ) Operate, You ( Maintenance department ) fix" is not followed.
TPM Objectives 1. Achieve Zero Defects, Zero Breakdown and Zero accidents in all functional areas of the organization.
Direct benefits of TPM 1. Increase productivity and OPE ( Overall Plant Efficiency ) by 1.5 or 2 times.
4. Satisfy the customers needs by 100 % ( Delivering the right quantity at the right time, in the required quality. )
5. Reduce accidents.
Availability No Stops Availability takes into account Availability Loss, which includes all events that stop
planned production for an appreciable length of time (typically several minutes or
longer). Examples include Unplanned Stops (such as breakdowns and other down
events) and Planned Stops (such as changeovers).
Performance No Small Stops or Slow Running Performance takes into account Performance Loss, which includes all factors that
cause production to operate at less than the maximum possible speed when running.
Examples include both Slow Cycles, and Small Stops.
Quality No Defects Quality takes into account Quality Loss, which factors out manufactured pieces that
do not meet quality standards, including pieces that require rework. Examples
include Production Rejects and Reduced Yield on startup.
OEE Perfect Production OEE takes into account all losses (Availability Loss, Performance Loss, and Quality
Loss), resulting in a measure of truly productive manufacturing time.
