Introduction to Total Productive maintenance

Introduction to Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) provides a practical understanding of the principles and practices used to improve equipment reliability, productivity, and operational efficiency. The course introduces TPM as a structured approach to reducing equipment losses, breakdowns, defects, and unplanned downtime. Participants learn about the role of operators and maintenance teams in maintaining equipment performance. The course explains the concept of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and its importance in measuring equipment productivity. It covers preventive, predictive, and autonomous maintenance approaches. Participants also understand how TPM supports continuous improvement and workplace efficiency. The course introduces the major pillars of TPM and their applications in industrial environments. Practical approaches for identifying equipment losses and improving machine availability are discussed. The program also highlights the importance of 5S, operator involvement, and workplace discipline in TPM implementation. By the end of the course, participants will have a clear foundation for applying TPM concepts to improve equipment effectiveness and achieve sustainable operational performance.
