Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) for improved Business Performance

Total-Productive-Maintenance (TPM) For Reliable and Just-In-Time Value delivery to Customer 

The context of conventional TPM is now evolving towards embracing Total aspects of business improvement. To that extent, it may be appropriate to look at it as Total-Productivity-Management to become a leaner company.

Expected Outcome: Upon completion of the Awareness program, participants will be able to:  1) Understand the Need, Principles and Tools of TPM, 2) Formulate TPM Deployment Strategy and Framework effectively so that TPM culture is evident, 3) Additionally upon completion of our 'Train-The-Trainers' program, the trainers shall be able to use TPM Tools to Eliminate Wastes in a chosen model workplace/equipment area. They shall be able to design road-map in order to improve the Overall Effectiveness and Efficiency (OEE) of Factory Operations including the Support Areas.
