Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a company-wide effort to optimize equipment effectiveness through autonomous maintenance and operational involvement. TPM aims to eliminate accidents, defects, breakdowns and other sources of inefficiency. It combines preventative maintenance practices with total quality control and employee engagement. The goals of TPM include improving equipment effectiveness, developing autonomous maintenance practices, implementing planned maintenance systems, training all staff, and achieving early equipment management. TPM has been shown to increase overall equipment effectiveness, quality, and productivity while reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
