Total Productive Maintenance is a very concrete improvement method that consists of a step-by-step program. This is all about productivity improvement with the aim of optimizing machine availability.
We express machine availability in OEE. This is improving thanks to the efforts of small-scale multidisciplinary teams and involvement on the shop floor. That's why the method is regarded as the starting point for a World Class programme. Lean and Six Sigma aspects can also be included at a later stage. TPM is sometimes even a starting point for Lean. MyPlantFloor software helps you to quickly and permanently improve your OEE.

The foundation of an efficient production company is a well-functioning machine park so that you can reduce intermediate stocks and slowly start thinking about customer-order-driven production. In the first phase, teams are put together with employees from various departments. This team usually uses OEE software is the first to determine the loss-making factors. Then a problem approach is formulated that is put into practice. Finally, it is examined on the shop floor how the problem is dealt with in the actual situation.
The starting point of Total Productive Maintenance is that everyone should feel responsible for the maintenance of the machine park. Maintenance includes the terms 'progress', 'improvement' and 'maintenance'. The TPM philosophy is based on the assumption that a machine performs at its worst immediately after purchase. TPM strives to systematically identify and permanently eliminate (hidden) defects. The ultimate goal of TPM is to increase OEE per machine and thereby improve productivity.
