2. What is Total Productive
Maintenance ?
• TPM is the plant improvement methodology
which enables continues and rapid
improvement of the manufacturing process
through use of employee involvement ,
employee empowerment , and closed-loop
measurement of results .
3. Breakdown of TPM
• TOTAL = All encompassing by maintenance
and production individuals working together .
• PRODUCTIVE = Production goods and services
that meet or exceed customers’ expectations.
• MAINTENANCE = Keeping equipment and
plant in as good as or better than the original

8. TPM BENIFITS
•Improved equipment eliminates the root cause of
defects
•Defects are prevented through planned
maintenance
•Preventive maintenance costs are reduced as
equipment operators conduct autonomous
maintenance
•Improved equipment designs ensure that new
equipment naturally produces fewer defects
•Simplified products designs and a redesigned
process produce with few defects
•Engineers, technicians and managers are trained
in maintenance and quality
