What You Can Expect From This Seminar
"Lean Machines" require less of everything to operate and maintain when
compared to traditional machines- less time, less money, and fewer skilled
experts. Lean Machines operate more efficiently and more effectively with the
highest levels of reliability than traditional machines.
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a data-based equipment performance and
reliability improvement strategy employed by companies in all types of
industries all over the world. What makes TPM truly different from other
maintenance improvement processes is that it engages everyone who affects the
equipment in your plat or facility. This seminar will address how to use the
basic six pillars of TPM to achieve fast, focused, and sustainable results.
Operability and maintenance improvement is the art and science of TPM.
Putting the critical information ON the equipment and empowering teams with
standards where needed can truly make work easier and more accurate- relying
less on memory or trial-and-error methods- and improving equipment performance
and reliability.
