TPM

TPM - A zero sum game

 TPM Objectives
 Zero Unplanned Downtime
 Zero Defects
 Zero Speed Losses
 Zero Accidents
TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE

The principle characteristics of a TPM system:

1. Operators perform Preventive Maintenance functions they have

been trained to perform , that do not require the capabilities of
a skilled tradesman.

2. Skilled maintenance personnel train the operators and develop

“one-point lessons”.

3. Maintenance department moves from a “fire-fighting” mode to

a prevention mode & re-engineering.
 TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE
Goals & Objectives:

1. To get the most efficient use of all production equipment

(i.e. overall equipment effectiveness or APU).
2. To establish a total (company wide) PM system, encompassing
Predictive Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance
and Improvement related Maintenance.
3. To achieve full participation of equipment designers and engineers,
equipment operators, and maintenance department personnel.
4. To effectively involve every employee in the Company from the shop floor
associate to all aspects of upper management.
5. To promote and implement PM related autonomous, small-group
activities targeted at continuous improvement of operating efficiency.
What is your definition of PM?

• Preventive Maintenance ?

• Predictive Maintenance ?

• Periodic Maintenance?
 Have you heard of the other PM ?
(Postponed Maintenance)

“Let’s postpone our preventive maintenance for one month so we can catch up”

“We’re behind, we need operating time, we can’t shutdown right now.”

Potential Results: “The Death Spiral”

•Equipment breaks down unexpectedly
•Cycle time increases
•Production rejects or Scrap increases

“If you could just keep this Darn machine running we could catch up”
An Alternative & Better Option:
•Standardize the TPM “Culture”
•Maintain the discipline of the TPM plan

Potential Result:
“I’m done my production run for the day, time to clean up and complete my
TPM checklist”

“Based on the data, I think if I reinforce this bracket we can prolong the life of
that drive belt”
 The TPM Paradigm Shift

Old Fashioned Attitude TPM Approach

 “I operate, you fix”
“WE ARE ALL
 “I fix, you design” RESPONSBILE for
OUR
EQUIPMENT”
 “I design, you

 Pre- TPM Conditions Checklist
(Check those which exist at your company)
Equipment availability is less than 95%.
Machines breakdown suddenly without warning. ( _ _ _ _ Happens!)
Machines do not operate at design parameters.
Changeover and set-up of equipment requires more than 10 minutes.
First Run Capability is less than 99%.
New equipment is high-tech.
Newly-installed equipment must be “de-bugged”.
Customers’ products require higher quality performance.
Plants are “dirty, dark, and stinky”.
Most associates in the company are indifferent to the production facilities and equipment.
Areas of responsibility are not clearly defined.

Why Do We Need a TPM Program?

? ?
 WHY TPM ?
• Manufacturing processes are becoming more synchronized as we drive WIP
out of our “Lean” Production Processes.

• Processes in the total production system are now dependent upon each other.

• Equipment available time or up-time is critical as inventory levels and

production lead times continue to be reduced.
• Maintenance related expenses can account for over 30% of total manufacturing
costs, representing a significant cost reduction opportunity.

• New technology & equipment requires significant investment and therefore the
related return on investment must be maximized.

• JIT requires all equipment to produce the correct product in the correct quantities
when required. Reliability and Flexibility are paramount.

• Life Cycle Costs need to be reduced to maintain competitiveness in the market.

• TPM allows for the more effective use of human resources, supports personal
growth and Manufacturing flexibility objectives.
 In Summary:

 “Lean Manufacturing” requires 100% machine availability producing

perfect quality products at lower operating costs.

 Quality, Cost, and Delivery increasingly depend on equipment conditions.

 If your equipment won’t run, not much else matters!!!

Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance

to describe the shift toward machine operators maintaining
their own equipment.

TPM Overview

“THE BIG 6”
TPM Targets “6 Big Machine Losses”

1. Unexpected breakdowns.

2. Set-up and adjustments (Changeover).

3. Minor stoppages.

4. Actual operating speed versus designed speed.

5. Defects and/or reworking of defects.

6. Reduced yield between start of production and

stable production.
 1 of 6
Breakdown Losses
• Sudden, dramatic or unexpected equipment failures
that result in loss of productivity.

Examples:
•Drive system failures
•Electrical system failures
•Structural fatigue
 2 of 6

Set-up and Adjustment Losses

(Change over)
• Downtime and defective product that occurs when
production of one part ends and the equipment is
set-up/adjusted to meet the requirements of another
part.

Degree of loss depends on:

•Process Standards
•Maintenance level of equipment
•Maintenance level of tooling
•Operator skill level
 3 of 6
Idling and Minor Stoppage
• Production is interrupted by a temporary malfunction
or when the machine is idling.

Contributing factors include:

•Defective products shut line down
•Disruption of production flow
•Mis-location of part
•Temporary equipment malfunction

TPM Note: Accurate data for this type of loss must be

recorded on the Production Control Chart.
 4 of 6

Reduced Speed Losses

• Refers to the difference between equipment design speed

and the actual operating speed.

Contributing factors include:

• Mechanical problems
• Defective quality
• Fear of abusing or overtaxing equipment
• Operator training
 5 of 6

Quality Defects and Rework

• Losses in quality caused by malfunctioning equipment
or tooling.

Degree of loss depends on:

•Maintenance level of equipment
•Maintenance level of tooling
•Operator skill level
 6 of 6

Start-up Losses

• Yield losses that occur during the early stages of

production - from machine start-up to stabilization.

Degree of loss depends on:

• Maintenance level of equipment
• Maintenance level of tooling
• Operator skill level
• Standardization level
TPM Education

Ways to Spread the

“Knowledge”
 TPM Education Methods

• TPM GEMBA Weeks/Workshops

• “7S” Standards
• Visual Management
• Process Flow
• Autonomous Work Checklists
• Display key process parameters
* Temperatures
* Cycle times
* Control settings

• One-Point Lessons
TPM Key Indicator

Utilization
 APU
A way of measuring how the 6 major losses are
affecting your equipment.

OR

A way of measuring the amount of “Value Added”

activity your equipment is contributing to your product.
 APU Three Measurables

Availability:
•Improved by eliminating breakdowns and other stoppage
losses. Optimizing set-ups and change over related losses.
Performance:
•Improved by eliminating speed losses,minor stoppages
and idling.
Quality:
•Improved by eliminating quality defects in process and
during set-up.
 APU Calculation

APU = Good Pieces X 100

Scheduled Pieces

NOTE:
Scheduled Pieces = Available Minutes
Planned Cycle (Standard)
 Example APU Calculation
Available Minutes
Established Standard Cycle
480 minutes available per 8 hour shift
P/N 1234 = 2.5 seconds
-30 minute lunch
-2x10 minute breaks
430 net minutes available or 25800 seconds
Therefore Scheduled Pieces equals 25800 / 2.5 = 10320 pieces
If Assumed Actual for the day = 8300 pieces

APU = 8300 X 100

10320

= 80.4% APU
 TPM Reminder
Overall Objectives

• Maximize “Actual Productive Utilization” (APU)

through total employee involvement.

• Improve equipment reliability and maintainability as

contributors to quality, and to raise productivity.
