Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a system to maximize equipment effectiveness through the involvement of both operators and maintenance personnel. It aims to eliminate equipment breakdowns and reduce the six major losses of production time. The document outlines the origins and benefits of TPM, details its key pillars like autonomous maintenance, and provides an agenda for TPM training covering topics such as setting goals and measuring results.

Origins of TPM
 Breakdown maintenance (RTF) - historical
 Preventive Maintenance concept – introduced in1951
 Productive Maintenance introduced later
 Included
 Preventive maintenance
 Improvement-related maintenance
 Maintenance prevention
 Still primarily maintenance department
 Never achieved zero breakdowns or defects

No Tolerance for Breakdowns
 Equipment breakdowns impact
 Customer service
 Production costs
 Maintenance costs
 Effectiveness of “manufacturing cells” or “flow
lines”
 Breakdowns result in “chaos”

The Last 50 Years
 In the 1950’s, about 70% of durable goods sold in
the world were made in the U.S. …today << 10%
 In the 1950’s, there were over 25 U.S. television
manufacturers …by the early 1990’s, only 1
(Zenith) …today??
 In the 1950’s, the largest growing job was in
manufacturing…not the case today!!
Most manufacturing industries are fighting a war
to survive!

Typical TPM Results
 Overall equipment effectiveness up 25-65%
 Quality defects down 25-50%
 Maintenance expenditures down 10-50%
 Percent planned vs. unplanned maintenance
increased 10-60%

Definition
TPM is a company-wide system developed to
maintain, monitor, and improve all capital assets
of a company. For production it is a system that
maximizes equipment effectiveness and
maintains product flow.
 TPM is not just about “maintenance”. It is about
getting the most overall benefit from your equipment
over the life of the equipment.
 TPM will not be an overnight success. Implementing it
throughout a plant correctly will take several years.

5 Pillars of TPM
1. Improvement activities designed to increase
equipment effectiveness (OEE)
2. Autonomous maintenance program performed
by equipment operators
3. A planned maintenance system
4. Training to improve operation & maintenance
skills
5. Effective new equipment design and startup

TPM Emphasizes Prevention
Three Principles of Prevention
1. Maintain normal conditions
2. Early discovery of abnormalities
a) Operator
b) Maintenance
3. Prompt response

The Six Big Equipment Losses
1. Breakdowns
2. Setups and adjustment
3. Idling and minor stoppages
4. Speed
5. Quality defects and rework
6. Start-up (loss of yield)

15. Overall equipment effectiveness = Availability x Performance rate x Quality rate
(OEE)
Breakdown
Setup and adjustment
Others Idling & minor stoppages
Reduced speed
Quality defects & rework
Start-up yield

16. Operation time (Scheduled time available – Downtime)
Availability = ______________________________________________ x 100
Scheduled time available
processed amount x ideal cycle time
Performance rate = _____________________________
Operation time
Quality rate = Amount good / amount produced

Improving OEE
1. Measure the extent of the 6 big losses
2. Analyze the causes (but focus your efforts )
3. Develop solutions & create an improvement plan
4. Set targets and estimate the benefits to OEE
5. Carry out the plan
6. Establish measurements to monitor results
7. Repeat as necessary

Eliminating Breakdowns
Workplace Conditions Contribute to Losses
 Filthy equipment
 Oil and lubricant leaks
 Moving parts encrusted with raw materials or debris
 Disorderly wiring, hoses, etc.
 Equipment mechanisms hidden or difficult to access
 Workplace disorder
 A belief that conditions cannot improve

Eliminating Breakdowns
Why machines fail
 Disregard for basic needs (housekeeping, lube..)
 Incorrect operating conditions
 Lack of skill or knowledge of operator
 Machine deterioration
 Routine
 Accelerated
 Design deficiency

Eliminating Breakdowns
 Two kinds of breakdowns
 Function loss (function completely lost) - Sporadic
 Function reduction (works, but with loss of speed or
quality) - Chronic
 Two kinds of breakdown maintenance
 Planned (pre-emptive)
 Unplanned (firefighting)

Autonomous Maintenance
The principal way production workers participate in
TPM
Purpose
1. Brings production & maintenance people together to
slow routine deterioration and halt accelerated
deterioration
2. Helps operators learn more about their equipment
(the cause and effect)
3. Prepares operators to be active partners with
maintenance and engineering in improving equipment
performance and reliability

Steps to Implementing Autonomous
Maintenance
Step 1: Initial cleaning and inspection
Step 2: Eliminate sources of contamination and
inaccessible areas
Step 3: Develop and test cleaning, inspection,
and lubrication standards
Step 4: General inspection training and
inspection procedures
Step 5: Conduct autonomous general
inspections

Sustaining TPM
 Audits
 Visual activity boards
 Team charter

 Inspection reports
 Audit results
 Before and after photos

TPM and Safety
 Safety is the cornerstone of
production activities
 Accidents usually occur when unsafe
behavior is combined with
unsafe conditions
 For every major accident there are
29 minor accidents and 300 near misses
 Safety should always be the #1 priority

Setting Goals for Your TPM Program
 Short term – 12 months
 Establish an autonomous maintenance program for “x”
machines
 Increase OEE by “y”% within for individual work
centers
 Long term – Reach a plant OEE of 85% within 3
years (world class is considered about 85%)

Comparing TPM to 5S
 5S emphasizes
 Productivity of workers
 Organizing and visual indicators
 TPM emphasizes
 Effectiveness of equipment
 Partnership between maintenance & production
 Reducing lifetime equipment costs
 Both emphasize
 Initial cleaning and repair
 Safety
