TPM involves all employees at all levels.
That kind of engagement requires a reliable path forward
a framework we call the TPM Rollout
to ensure your greatest return on investment as quickly as possible.
TPM is all about putting your assets to work to add value. TPM is more than just a maintenance program or machine improvements, it’s tactical. TPM is tactical asset management… it’s building the capabilities of your people, your processes, your facilities, and your equipment to maximize sales and margin contribution. Central to TPM implementation is the understanding that TPM is a systemic, organization-wide initiative that involves all employees at all levels. Successful implementation requires having a reliable path forward; a framework we call the TPM Rollout. A TPM Rollout ensures your greatest return on investment in the shortest period of time. The Productivity TPM Rollout consists of three phases:
Plan: the plan phase will enable you to ensure the readiness of all employees to assume their new roles and responsibilities, create internal competency, assess current state, and design a site specific Rollout plan that links the Pillars of TPM with your organization’s overall strategic goals.
Implement: a sequence of events designed to translate your site specific Rollout plan into tangible, measurable benefits. Via small group activities, kaizen events, and focused asset improvement projects, the tools and techniques employed will bring about rapid change and evidence of achieving determined targets-to-improve milestones. It’s here where you build the internal capabilities necessary to get your TPM effort on the right path and moving forward.
Lead/Sustain: this phase focuses on developing people and providing them with the tools and work environment they need to participate in, support, and lead the change. It’s creating an environment in which all employees are free to experiment, where they understand the cause and effect relationship, and where they have access to simple, effective tools to get to root cause. Improving profitability through reliability strikes at the leadership goal of increasing stakeholder wealth (security, asset growth, and cash flow). Leading the TPM effort for both the short and longer-term means having the right people with the capabilities necessary to participate in, support, and demonstrate success.
