TPM - TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE
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

Defects and rework
Waiting for management
Logistics
Operating movements
Measurement and adjustment
Line organization
