You've heard the buzz about how TPM can minimize machine downtime while it maximizes productivity. Now you can discover exactly how to integrate a TPM program into your workshop to make its implementation a bottom-line success! This book explains the subtle but distinct difference between TPM as an equipment management strategy and not a maintenance management program. Being able to distinguish between these two mindsets can help your TPM program yield dramatic results. One reading of this practical new reference, can help you make the old saying 'good maintenance is good business' a reality.

Autonomous maintenance is an especially important pillar of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) because it enlists the intelligence and skills of the people who are most familiar with factory machines-- equipment operators. Operators learn the maintenance skills they need to know through a seven-step autonomous maintenance program. Most companies in the West stop after implementing the first few steps and never realize the full benefits of autonomous maintenance. This book contains comprehensive coverage of all seven steps--not just the first three or four.It includes:An overview of autonomous maintenance features and checklists for step audits to certify team achievement at each AM step.TPM basics such as the six big losses, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), causes of losses, and six major TPM activities.An implementation plan for TPM and five countermeasures for achieving zero breakdowns.Useful guidelines and case studies in applying AM to manual work such as assembly, inspection, and material handling.Integrates examples from Toyota, Asai Glass, Bridgestone, Hitachi, and other top companies.By treating machines as partners and taking responsibility for them, you get machines that you can rely on and help maintain an energized and responsive workplace. For companies that are serious about taking autonomous maintenance beyond mere cleaning programs, this is an essential sourcebook and implementation support.

To be able to compete successfully both at national and international levels, production systems and equipment must perform at levels not even thinkable a decade ago. Requirements for increased product quality, reduced throughput time and enhanced operating effectiveness within a rapidly changing customer demand environment continue to demand a high maintenance performance. In some cases, maintenance is required to increase operational effectiveness and revenues and customer satisfaction while reducing capital, operating and support costs. This may be the largest challenge facing production enterprises these days. For this, maintenance strategy is required to be aligned with the production logistics and also to keep updated with the current best practices. Maintenance has become a multidisciplinary activity and one may come across situations in which maintenance is the responsibility of people whose training is not engineering. This handbook aims to assist at different levels of understanding whether the manager is an engineer, a production manager, an experienced maintenance practitioner or a beginner. Topics selected to be included in this handbook cover a wide range of issues in the area of maintenance management and engineering to cater for all those interested in maintenance whether practitioners or researchers. This handbook is divided into 6 parts and contains 26 chapters covering a wide range of topics related to maintenance management and engineering.

Can American Manufacturer’s Answer the Challenge? Gaining a hidden edge through improved maintenance Maintenance can account for as much as 40 percent of manufacturing costs; yet, many manufacturers still fail to recognize the value of making total productive maintenance (TPM) an integral part of their strategy. Written specifically for American manufacturers by an American TPM practitioner and educator, this book provides a succinct account of TPM’s evolution into the most effective maintenance approach in the history of manufacturing. The author surveys the current status of TPM implementation in the United States and challenges American manufacturers to overhaul their current maintenance procedures and by doing so, improve their capacity to stay competitive in the world market. He discusses the steps needed to breakdown the cultural resistance that can impede needed change, from initiation to implementation to institutionalization. He then explains the various facets that make up an overall maintenance strategy including predictive, corrective, and preventative maintenance, as well as ways to make many of these functions automated. With a fully implemented TPM program, organizations can anticipate maintenance needs and build a plan that will eradicate all but a fraction of their associated costs, and in doing so, dramatically improve the bottom line.

Process industries have a particularly urgent need for collaborative equipment management systems, but until now have lacked for programs directed toward their specific needs. TPM in Process lndustries brings together top consultants from the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance to modify the original TPM Development Program. In this volume, they demonstrate how to analyze process environments and equipment issues including process loss structure and calculation, autonomous maintenance, equipment and process improvement, and quality maintenance. For all organizations managing large equipment, facing low operator/machine ratios, or implementing extensive improvement, this text is an invaluable resource.
