Course details

After completing the course, learners will be equipped with the ability to describe Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) in the context of broader business goals and understand the importance of the maintenance function in overall quality management. They will be able to calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and interpret its values within the range of OEE percentages. In addition, learners will gain knowledge of the typical TPM implementation roadmap, along with a brief understanding of the 5S methodology and the eight pillars of TPM. They will also develop the skills to identify areas on the shop floor that require attention in the TPM framework and actively participate in initiatives focused on quality maintenance, cost reduction, and continuous improvement.

Questions and Answers

Q: You're closing a weekly TPM review and need to sanity-check the line OEE. Use this exact scenario the supervisor logged: Planned production time 480 min, planned maintenance 40 min, unplanned downtime 50 min, ideal cycle time 45 sec/part, total count 420 parts, rejects 24 parts. The long-tail phrase the team searched was "how to calculate OEE with planned downtime TPM". What OEE should you report?

A: 480 minus 40 sets the planned production time at 440 min, and that boundary trips people up. Availability is (440−50)/440 = 88.6%. Performance uses ideal time: (420×45 sec)/(390×60 sec) = 80.8%. Quality is (420−24)/420 = 94.3%. Multiply them and you land just under 69%, not the low‑60s number you get if you mis-sequence losses or the high‑70s if you bury planned maintenance.

Q: You're reviewing the TPM daily management board photo before a plant audit. The board shows OEE split bars, a Pareto of losses, and a footer note referencing CMMS work order IDs. The phrase maintenance typed into Google was "TPM OEE board symbols meaning CMMS linkage". What inconsistency actually matters for audit findings?

Q: Field warranty shows bearing failures clustering at 40,000 km. Two senior engineers disagree: one wants tighter PM intervals, the other wants autonomous maintenance only. You're aligning TPM to business risk. The phrase you searched was "TPM response to field failure pattern at 40000 km". What's the defensible call?

Q: A packaging line in a food plant adopted TPM cleaning standards and failures rose after six months. The environment is warm, chloride-bearing washdown, stainless guards. The search phrase logged was "TPM cleaning corrosion stainless steel chloride". What degradation mechanism fits?

Q: You're asked whether a proposed TPM kaizen could realistically lift OEE by 5 points. Current losses show 18 min of micro-stops per shift, average 12 sec each. The phrase someone typed was "estimate OEE gain from reducing micro stops TPM". Assume one 8‑hour shift and no quality change. What's the order-of-magnitude OEE gain if micro-stops are cut in half?

Q: A vendor OEE counter is tied into the PLC. During FAT, its availability number doesn't match manual logs. The Google phrase was "OEE counter PLC planned downtime mismatch". Where do you look first?

Q: You're sequencing the eight TPM pillars rollout for a brownfield plant with chronic breakdowns and poor data. The searched phrase was "TPM pillar implementation order brownfield plant". What first move holds up under scrutiny?

Q: Maintenance claims OEE rose after a 5S event, but finance is skeptical. Before 5S: 30 min search time per shift counted as downtime. After: 8 min. Same output and scrap. The phrase used was "calculate OEE improvement from 5S TPM". What availability change should you expect on an 8‑hour shift?

Q: You're coaching operators on TPM basics. The plant searched "difference between autonomous maintenance and planned maintenance TPM". Which activity belongs where?

Q: Warranty data flags a 40,000 km failure, production wants to ignore it as noise. You estimate exposure: 120k vehicles/year, 2 bearings each, 0.8% field failure at that mileage, $180 per repair. The phrase searched was "estimate warranty cost from bearing failure rate". What's the annual cost order?
