TPM Workflow Management Software
Total Productive Maintenance
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a holistic approach to equipment maintenance that emphasizes prevention to maximize Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Operational Excellence. The goal of TPM is zero breakdowns, zero product defects and zero safety incidents. The methodology emphasizes autonomous, operator-led routine machine maintenance, as well as proactive and preventive maintenance to maximize the lifespan and productivity of equipment.

tpm pillar 1
Focused Improvement
Focused improvement is the first pillar of TPM. The priorities are clear: improve, improve, and improve continuously. To avoid the loss of equipment, talent, raw materials, and energy, the whole team must share this vision. The team must be proactive, willing to try new methods, and eager to sit around the table to work out problems.

tpm pillar 2
Autonomous Maintenance
Autonomous Maintenance (AM) is the first and most important pillar in TPM because by offloading basic maintenance tasks to operators. maintenance teams have the time and resources to tackle everything else. AM provides operators with the skills, training and autonomy to clean, inspect, and contribute to the upkeep of the assets they work with. This ensures every piece of equipment is cared for, improves early fault detection, significantly increases operator engagement and retention, and frees maintenance technicians for heavier tasks.

tpm pillar 3
Quality Maintenance
One of TPM’s biggest goals is manufacturing zero defective products, which, undoubtedly, also plays into customer satisfaction. Hence, quality management and implementing internal processes linked to quality control are another pillar. We recommend several root cause analysis tools to root out problems. Performing maintenance actions for the equipment's care, so that it does not generate quality defects, certifying that the machinery meets the basic conditions for "zero breakdowns" and that this equipment is within the technical standards.

tpm pillar 4
Planned Maintenance
Planned Maintenance, also called Preventive or Predictive, involves monitoring the state of deterioration of production machines and equipment so maintenance teams can act in advance of breakdowns to ensure lines continue to run as planned. Preventive maintenance is almost always less expensive and less disruptive than breakdown maintenance.
Autonomous Maintenance (AM) is essential to Planned Maintenance for a variety of reasons. AM ensures machines are cleaned, centerlined and lubricated regularly, ensuring optimal operating conditions. AM requires regular part and component inspections, which is paramount for predictive analysis. Finally, AM saves maintenance teams time and resources that can be reallocated to support planned maintenance initiatives.

Early Equipment Management
Early Equipment Management (EEM) is a structured process that reduces the complexity of operations and maintenance through optimal design, engineering, procurement and installation of machines and equipment. When it’s time to choose new equipment or develop new products, consider previous experiences to make maintenance easier. This can be as simple as choosing a washable paint for the walls (which makes cleaning easier), or as complex as picking a robot which can self-diagnose malfunctions (which improves production).

tpm pillar 6
Training and Education
Companies progress by developing their employees’ capabilities and maximizing their ability to work effectively. TPM requires investing in training and education so employees have the skills, knowledge, tools and resources they need to deliver successful outcomes. This includes knowledge associated with their specific job, but also a basic understanding of other things like safety, quality and machine maintenance. The first step in Training and Education is understanding the skills of your employees and the gaps that need to be filled.

tpm pillar 7
Safety, Health and Environment
The Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Pillar is the cornerstone TPM Pillar that supports and lends stability to the overall continuous improvement process and all of the other TPM Pillars. The goal of the SHE pillar is zero work accidents, zero pollution, and zero burnout. The SHE pillar emphasizes autonomous safety where everyone is responsible for their own safety and the safety of others. Good maintenance management not only avoids accidents during maintenance activities but also contributes to every worker’s well-being and safety.
