    Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a maintenance program that aims to maximize equipment effectiveness and minimize lifecycle costs through a combination of preventative maintenance, autonomous maintenance by operators, and equipment improvement. TPM originated in Japan in the 1960s when companies had maintenance staff perform repairs but involved operators in routine maintenance tasks. This reduced costs and improved productivity and morale. Key goals of TPM include zero defects, downtime, and accidents through cross-functional teamwork at all levels of the organization.

    What is Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)?

     It can be as considered as the medical science of machines.


     Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a maintenance program which involves a newly
    defined concept for maintaining plants and equipment.
     The goal of the TPM program is to markedly increase production, while at the same
    time, increasing employee morale and job satisfaction.
     TPM brings maintenance into focus as a necessary and vitally important part of the
    business. It is no longer regarded as a non-profit activity.
     Downtime for maintenance is scheduled as a part of the manufacturing day and, in
    some cases, as an integral part of the manufacturing process.

    Why TPM?
    TPM was introduced to achieve the following objectives:
     Avoid wastage
     Producing goods without reducing product quality
     Reduce cost
     Zero downtime
     Zero defects
     Zero accidents

    TPM History:
    TPM is an innovative Japanese concept. The origin of TPM can be traced back to 1951 when
    preventive maintenance was introduced in Japan. However the concept of preventive
    maintenance was taken from USA. Nippondenso was the first company to introduce plant wide
    preventive maintenance in 1960. Preventive maintenance is the concept wherein, operators
    produced goods using machines and the maintenance group was dedicated with work of
    maintaining those machines. However with the automation of Nippondenso, maintenance
    became a problem as more maintenance personnel were required. So the management
    decided that the routine maintenance of equipment would be carried out by the operators.
    (This is Autonomous Maintenance, one of the features of TPM). Maintenance group took up
    only essential maintenance works.
    Thus Nippondenso which already followed preventive maintenance also added autonomous
    maintenance done by the production operators. The maintenance crew went in the equipment
    modification for improving reliability. The modifications were made or incorporated in new
    equipment. This lead to maintenance prevention. Thus Preventive Maintenance along with
    Maintenance Prevention and Maintainability Improvement gave birth to Productive
    maintenance. The aim of Productive maintenance was to maximize plant and equipment
    effectiveness to achieve optimum life cycle cost of production equipment.

    Uniqueness of TPM:
    The major difference between TPM and other concepts is that the operators are also made to
    involve in the maintenance process. The concept of “I (“Production Operators) operate. You
    (Maintenance department) fix” is not followed.

    TPM Objectives:
     Achieve zero defects, zero BD and zero accidents in all functional areas of the
    organization.
     Involve people in all levels of organization.
     Form different teams to reduce defects and self-maintenance.

    Direct Benefits of TPM:


     Increase productivity and OPE (Overall Plant Efficiency) by 1.5 or 2 times.
     Rectify customer complaints.
     Reduce the manufacturing cost by 30%.
     Satisfy the customer needs by 100 % (delivering the right quantity at the right time, in
    the required quality).
     Reduce accidents.
     Follow pollution control measures.

    Indirect Benefits of TPM:


     Higher confidence level among the employees.
     Keep the work place clean, neat and attractive.
     Favorable change in the attitude of the operators.
     Achieve goals by working as team.
     Horizontal deployment of a new concept in all areas of the organization.
     Share knowledge and experience.
     The workers get a feeling of owning the machine.
