TPM Online Training
Why Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)?
50 years ago Toyota recognized that the key to manufacturing success is when the machinery performs as expected from the design specifications.
The base of a successful production system is Total Productive Maintenance also known as Toyota Productive Maintenance.
Many manufacturers soon realize in their pursuit of Lean that poor productivity is their main barrier to manufacturing excellence.
This training will give participants the foundation necessary to start the first steps of the TPM implementation and review best practices used by Toyota and other manufacturers.
TPM Training is oriented to develop solid Maintenance Management practices.
All the content is related to a whole Management System, as part of the General Production System.
This Training is not oriented to learn or develop technical skills (e.g. repair a motor, program a Robot, etc).
Learn how to increase your equipment availability
Total productive maintenance (TPM) aims to maximize the entire equipment life cycle in order to achieve the highest operational availability.
