8 pillars Of TPM

Eight pillars of TPM

 

 

Autonomous Maintenance	Places responsibility for routine maintenance, such as cleaning, lubricating, and inspection, in the hands of operators.	Gives operators greater “ownership” of their equipment. Increases operators’ knowledge of their equipment. Ensures equipment is well-cleaned and lubricated. Identifies emergent issues before they become failures. Frees maintenance personnel for higher-level tasks.
Planned Maintenance	Schedules maintenance tasks based on predicted and/or measured failure rates.	·  Significantly reduces instances of unplanned stop time. ·  Enables most maintenance to be planned for times when equipment is not scheduled for production. ·  Reduces inventory through better control of wear-prone and failure-prone parts
Quality Maintenance	Design error detection and prevention into production processes. Apply Root Cause Analysis to eliminate recurring sources of quality defects.	Specifically targets quality issues with improvement projects focused on removing root sources of defects. Reduces number of defects. Reduces cost by catching defects early (it is expensive and unreliable to find defects through inspection).
Focused Improvement	Have small groups of employees work together proactively to achieve regular, incremental improvements in equipment operation.	Recurring problems are identified and resolved by cross-functional teams. Combines the collective talents of a company to create an engine for continuous improvement.
Early Equipment Management	Directs practical knowledge and understanding of manufacturing equipment gained through TPM towards improving the design of new equipment.	·  New equipment reaches planned performance levels much faster due to fewer startup issues. ·  Maintenance is simpler and more robust due to practical review and employee involvement prior to installation
Training and Education	Fill in knowledge gaps necessary to achieve TPM goals. Applies to operators, maintenance personnel and managers.	Operators develop skills to routinely maintain equipment and identify emerging problems. Maintenance personnel learn techniques for proactive and preventative maintenance. Managers are trained on TPM principles as well as on employee coaching and development.
Safety, Health, Environment	Maintain a safe and healthy working environment.	Eliminates potential health and safety risks, resulting in a safer workplace. Specifically targets the goal of an accident-free workplace.
