Page 277 - TPM A Route to World-Class Performance

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), a
Japanese management protocol
developed to alleviate production
losses caused by machine breakdowns
has moved on.

Through TPM, more companies accept
the concept of Zero Breakdowns as
achievable. From the foundation of zero
breakdowns, world-class plants are able
to run for complete shifts without the
need for intervention. TPM is still
pushing back the boundaries of what
was thought possible.
Driven by the proven principles of TPM,
the book emphasises the need to build
on existing good practices and to win
commitment by delivering results.

The book provides a practical guide to
delivering TPM benefits and is based on
the authors‘ first hand experience of
seeing TPM in Japan. It adapts these
benefits to suit the strategic needs of
companies across four continents.
TPM - A Route to World-Class
Performance builds on Peter Willmott’s
earlier book, TPM the Western Way,
updating the scope of applications and
tools. The TPM route map is updated to
include the journey to zero breakdowns
and beyond. It also provides a systematic
structure to evolve from the classic Total
Productive Maintenance towards Total
Productive Manufacturing and deliver a
Totally Productive Operation capable of
world-leading performance.
