The Principles Of Total Production Maintenance (tpm)

Manufacturing is one of the leading industries in the world today

. Without business corporations engaged in manufacturing, there would be no equipment or products people can use to make modern life easier and more convenient. Manufacturing businesses serve as the production arms of technology, meeting the human populations needs for various products. Manufacturing or production is founded on the rule that product output should consistently increase in a standard constant timeframe.

Increasing product output is hampered by many factors, such as wasted maintenance, minor equipment defects, and equipment stoppages. Most manufacturing companies reduce up to 30% of their productivity rate for maintenance. The time it takes to complete maintenance equals the time production is completely stopped. All these factors can be treated by a Total Production Maintenance (TPM) procedure.

TPM is a maintenance procedure that has helped increase the production rates of most companies manufacturing globally. The procedure is based on the goal of continuously improving all operational conditions in a system by stimulating labor awareness. This procedure has four major parts: stabilizing failure intervals, improving productivity, meeting maintenance excellence, and proper equipment lubrication.

It is very important to restore equipment to its original condition at the beginning of the production. Minimizing the failure of equipment will eventually stabilize the production flow. This is included in the TPM presentation that most companies adopt in their regular productivity training. This presentation helps correct design weaknesses and attack easy, recurring, and almost invisible defects.

Meeting maintenance excellence can be achieved by maintenance mapping and condition-based maintenance. A standardized work presentation is used to reorient workers of the goal to reduce maintenance and convert wasted maintenance to productivity. One of the ways to reduce, if not completely avoid, wasted maintenance is proper lubrication. This process can be subdivided into contamination prevention, daily inspection, equipment visuals, maintenance history recall, skills matrices, and standard work.

A TPM presentation in most manufacturing companies improves not only production rate but also leads to safety for the workers, quality of output, maintenance and energy cost, lean time and downtime efficiency, and environmental measures. On the other hand, the regular training observed by employees under this presentation improves the professional relationships within the company and aids in skills development.
