A key principles of TPM is to elevate the humble maintenance task to be a serious part of the
production process, rather than a bunch of fix-it mechanics or a 'when there's time' activity. It
also aims to be more efficient than Preventive Maintenance (PM) which can be over-zealous in
its regular servicing, even when it is not necessary.
The major losses of TPM are:
Breakdown
Equipment failure
Set up time
Start-up
Other downtime
Minor stoppages and idling
Reduced speed
Defects and rework
Waiting for management
Logistics
Operating movements
Measurement and adjustment
Line organization
Energy
Yield
Total productive maintenance have following areas which are usefull for improvement
Autonomous maintenance (Jishu Hazen)
This a concept where there is no such maintenance personnel .The person who is handling
machine ie operator himself is responsible for maintenance .
