Total Productive Maintenance

Combining the practice of preventive maintenance and total quality control and total employee involvement results in an innovative system for equipment maintenance that optimizes effectiveness, eliminates breakdowns, and promotes autonomous operator maintenance through day-to-day activities. This concept known as Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) was conceived by Seiichi Nakajima and is well-documented in his book Introduction of TPM and is highly recommended reading for all involved in the maintenance area. 

A new maintenance system is introduced based on the new mantra for the selection of all equipment Life Cycle Cost. This new system especially for major power plants is based on the combination of total condition monitoring, and the maintenance principles of total productive maintenance, and is called the Performance Based Total Productive Maintenance System. ...

The seheduling of maintenanee inspeetions and overhauls is an essential part of the total maintenanee philosophy. As we move from Breakdown or Panie maintenanee towards a performance based total productive maintenance system, total eondition monitoring and diagnosties beeomes an integral part of both operation and maintenanee. Total eondition monitoring and diagnostie examines both the meehanieal and performanee... 

The old maxim if it ain t broke don t fix it is very applicable in today s machinery. A study conducted at a major nuclear power facility found that 35% of the failures occurred after a major turnaround. This is why total condition monitoring is necessary in any performance based total productive maintenance system and leads to overhauls being planned on proper data evaluation of the machinery rather than on a fixed interval.

The items listed under the category of operator-driven reliability are fairly self-evident. The intent is to increase operators ownership of their equipment and its reliability. The process encompasses many of the activities of total productive maintenance (TPM). Three key areas of focus are ... 

In the remainder of this chapter, we first provide a more detailed discussion of JIT/TPS in Section 2, including its philosophy and implementation issues. In Section 3, we examine the kanban system, widely used in JIT for control of production and inventory, and present a case study of JIT/kanban implementation. Section 4 follows with an examination of JIT s relation to complementary approaches such as total quality management (TQM) and total productive maintenance (TPM), together with a case study of their joint implementation. In Section 5, we examine lean production as an extension of JIT, explore the relationship of JIT to theory of constraints (TOC), and conclude with a brief consideration of applications to service industries of JIT, TOC, and other manufacturing-based approaches. 

Like JIT, total quality management (TQM) and total productive maintenance (TPM) are managerial models that were formulated and systematized in Japan. Each of these managerial paradigms is made...
