174 TPM-A Route to World-Class Performance

8.4 Steps to achieve the TPM vision

Experience of implementing TPM has shown that the route to world-class
performance begins with eliminating sporadic losses. Once these are under
control, the task of eliminating chronic losses is made easier.
There are two main contributors to sporadic losses:
equipment condition
human error
Using TPM techniques, the route to addressing these factors takes around
three years and is the main focus for the first two milestones of the master
plan:
Get everyone involved.
Refine best practice and standardize.
This is the structured mechanism for the TPM master plan which integrates
the vision and actions of the management team, providing consistent:
0 prioritization
expectations
reward and recognition
As a result, skills are progressively developed so that:

operators become technicians;
0 maintainers become engineers;
supervisors become managers;
managers become entrepreneurs.
