Total Productive Maintenance - TPM

Total Productive Maintenance supports both production and maintenance efforts to minimize downtime and increase equipment reliability by involving all employees in the process.

Why TPM - Total Productive Maintenance?

Modern manufacturing companies face the challenge of minimizing downtime and maximizing machine efficiency. Unfortunately, the lack of employee engagement in maintenance and the absence of systematic upkeep lead to unplanned breakdowns, increased repair costs, and a loss of productivity. As a result, machines are not used optimally, and the company loses its competitive edge.

TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) enables the creation and maintenance of an integrated maintenance system that involves all employees—from operators to technical staff. The goal of TPM is to develop the skills for autonomous maintenance (TPM AM) by machine operators and planned maintenance (TPM PM) by specialists, which minimizes the risk of breakdowns, extends equipment life, and increases production efficiency.

Benefits of TPM - Total Productive Maintenance

  • You will build a system that enables proactive machine maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime and increasing equipment availability.
  • You will improve production efficiency and product quality through the engagement of all employees in maintenance activities.
  • You will foster a culture of safety awareness, which will contribute to reducing workplace accidents.
  • You will extend the lifespan of equipment and machinery through consistent and effective maintenance practices.
  • You will decrease maintenance costs by preventing major failures through regular, planned interventions.
