TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) Seminar

This program is designed for: Unlike almost any other maintenance strategy TPM is primarily housed within the operation group, so full participation from them at all levels is essential. The other unique aspect is that while TPM is driven from top management it is primarily a operations worker effort. The direct manufacturing workers need to be trained in their new roles. In addition, maintenance supervisors, managers, PM leads, PM workers should attend because they will serve as facilitators and trainers. In a large plant the shorter trainings can be conducted by your own in-house experts (after we train them and supply them with suitable training materials).

Our promise for this program is that your staff will have a detailed understanding of TPM including how to set it up, how to run teams, design tasklists and implement the system.

TPM draws in the entire workforce and has a powerful impact on the complete output of the plant. The toughest lesson is how to keep TPM going after the initial roll-out. One of the keys, presented here is a complete understanding of what to do, why to do it and what’s in it for the worker. There is much to know to design effective TPM activity for different types of equipment. This course will, in a short time, bring an entire department to a deeper understanding of how to make TPM more effective.

In-house courses have significant advantages in addition to saving money (over 5 people)

1. 100% of the course will pertain to your industry and your maintenance situation.
2. Can be adapted to your maintenance language and forms to be easily usable.
3. Special issues can be discussed on a confidential basis with the instructor.
4. Schedule to be convenient to your business cycle.
5. Use as a team building experience.
6. Create a shared a common language and vision for maintenance.

Three options for the Maintenance Management Seminar
  • Option 1: The most basic way is to just talk on the phone (or use E-mail) and then present a standard course. The courses are tried and tested and has been used to good effect in many maintenance situations.
  • Option 2: The second and most common option involves a one day site visit before the class, which allows me to add examples from your facility and adjust the verbal presentation to more nearly suit your needs, meet some of the key players and see for myself some of the special problems you face.
  • Option 3: The third option is to conduct a maintenance survey which looks at all of the aspects of maintenance, evaluates areas where improvements are possible and a slanting of the training to the competencies needed to implement the improvements uncovered in the survey.
