Using TPEM to Improve Total Productive Maintenance Performance

TPM promotes teamwork and operator involvement, which will not only improve the overall effectiveness of equipment, but increase employee morale and job satisfaction. By bringing maintenance and production together as a team, maintenance comes into focus as a vitally important part of the production process. This course will help you base TPM installation on your work force and your particular equipment needs.

Learn how to perform calculations vital to the success of your TPM installation, and how to measure your Total Effective Equipment Productivity (TEEP) by accounting for your equipment use and its overall effectiveness. Other critical calculations and helpful guidelines like the Total Productive Equipment Management (TPEM^®) process will provide data to demonstrate the value of your maintenance efforts and maximize equipment effectiveness.
