Description
Lawrence S. Bouvier, Fuss & O'Neill Manufacturing Solutions. Presented at the 2019 conference
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) improves equipment performance. This presentation will detail the steps that manufacturers can implement to develop a successful TPM process. Typical manufacturing companies provide equipment care (maintenance, repairs and inspections) through their maintenance departments, but can miss the valuable perspectives and insights that their production employees can bring to the table. TPM takes time to develop as a culture but can quickly deliver results by emphasizing how important equipment care is and explaining how all employees can support this initiative. The presentation examines a fourphase approach, employing simple tools that can deliver those results and build a culture of equipment care that will benefit all.
