158 TPM-A Route to World-Class Performance

Figures 7.21 and 7.22 show how the pilot project will be organized over
four shifts to tackle this production line using the nine-step TPM process
over sixteen weeks as a pilot project.
The key point to stress is the commitment of time for each shift over
sixteen weeks dedicated to the TPM process - equivalent to 10 per cent of
attendance time to the process as a key learning experience.
It is a fact of life that you will not make sustainable improvements in
anything you do unless you dedicate improvement time to the activity: it
cannot be done 'on the run'. If management will not commit to this reality,
then you should seriously consider not starting the TPM process, as it is
likely to fail.
