Total Productive Maintenance

Total Productive Maintenance is a concept developed in Japan to prevent system failures. TPM optimizes and standardizes the maintenance concept.

To reduce machine failures and set-up times, TPM uses preventive concepts, among other things, so that maintenance can be carried out in a planned manner. This increases productivity and conserves resources. In this module, you will learn about approaches for implementing and optimizing maintenance management in a waste-free lean environment.

Key information

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a holistic management strategy that aims to maximize the overall performance of production facilities by focusing on eliminating losses, improving plant availability and developing a culture of continuous improvement.

TPM is based on the belief that all employees should be involved in the maintenance and improvement of equipment and encourages a proactive and participative approach to maintenance. The TPM methodology comprises various pillars, including autonomous maintenance management, planned maintenance, quality management, training and education, and administrative support.

By implementing TPM, organizations can not only increase equipment availability and reduce downtime, but also increase productivity, improve product quality and reduce overall costs.

TPM is closely linked to the principles of lean management and continuous improvement and has proven to be an effective strategy for increasing the competitiveness and sustainability of manufacturing companies.

Historie

The history of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) can be traced back to Japanese industry in the 1950s, in particular to developments at Toyota and other leading Japanese companies. Originally developed as part of Total Quality Control (TQC), TPM was later developed as a management strategy in its own right.
In the 1980s and 1990s, TPM became increasingly widespread in Japanese industry and also gained international recognition. Companies around the world began to implement TPM to increase the efficiency of their production facilities, reduce downtime and improve productivity.
