Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)

Course Overview

Complexity of maintenance emerges from the variability of Maintenance tasks, the impossibility of expecting most of the failures and hence the repair request, and the variety and the limitation of resources to be applied, due to the importance of technical and managerial strategies at all organizational and process levels.

The strategy/philosophy must represent the very best technology, procedures and practices available, relevant to the business goals of the organization.

Course Objective

If Maintenance planning is the aim to have a world-class enterprise, the maintenance organization and strategy have a critical role to play in this mission. Driven from business goals, such a strategy cannot be seen as separate from other functions, but rather as an intrinsic part of a complete approach to high performance operation.

The business goals will place organizational, as well technical demands on the enterprise. The strategy therefore has to integrate and guide the implementation of technical and managerial strategies at all organizational and process levels.

The strategy/philosophy must represent the very best technology, procedures and practices available, relevant to the business goals of the organization.
