Contact Total Productive
Maintenance (TPM) is a maintenance program concept.
Philosophically, Total Productive Maintenance
resembles Total Quality Management (TQM) in several aspects, such
as (1)total commitment to the program by upper level management
is required, (2) employees must be empowered to initiate
corrective action, and (3) a long range outlook must be accepted
as Total Productive Maintenance may take a year
or more to implement and is an on-going process. Changes in
employee mind-set toward their job responsibilities must take
place as well.
Total Productive Maintenance brings maintenance
into focus as a necessary and vitally important part of the
business. It is no longer regarded as a non-profit activity. Down
time for maintenance is scheduled as a part of the manufacturing
day and, in some cases, as an integral part of the manufacturing
process. It is no longer simply squeezed in whenever there is a
break in material flow. The goal is to hold emergency and
unscheduled maintenance to a minimum.
