Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a proactive approach aimed at maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of equipment in a workplace. It involves all employees, not just maintenance staff, in maintaining machines to prevent breakdowns and ensure smooth operation. TPM emphasizes regular maintenance, continuous improvement, and teamwork, helping to reduce downtime, improve productivity, and enhance quality. By fostering a culture where everyone takes responsibility for their tools and processes, organizations can achieve higher reliability and productivity while reducing costs associated with repairs and lost production time.
