Total Productive Maintenance | Arrelic

Overview

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) which is one of the key concepts of Lean Manufacturing, challenges the view that maintenance is no more than a function that operates in the background and only appears when needed. The primary goals of TPM are zero breakdowns and zero defects. When breakdowns and defects are eliminated, equipment operation rates improve, costs are reduced, inventory can be minimized, and as a consequence, labor productivity increases. One firm reduced the number of breakdowns to 1/50 of the original number. Some companies show 17-26 percent increases in equipment operation rates while others show a 90 percent reduction in process defects. Labor productivity generally increased by 40-50 percent. Of course, such results cannot be achieved overnight. Typically, it takes an average of three years from the introduction of TPM to achieve prize-winning results. Furthermore, in the early stages of TPM, the company must bear the additional expense of restoring equipment to its proper condition and educating personnel about the equipment. The actual cost depends on the quality of the equipment and the quality of maintenance. As productivity increases, however, these costs are quickly replaced by profits.
