Best TPM Consultant in Mumbai

Organizations have dedicated maintenance and support departments, and they are primarily responsible for ensuring that all equipment owned and managed by the organization is at its peak operating capacity.

TPM in business brings about a paradigm shift in how equipment is handled and maintained to improve this.

What exactly is TPM in Lean Six Sigma?

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a product maintenance strategy that advocates that everyone should participate in maintenance beyond just the maintenance department. TPM strategy uses all employees’ skill sets and aims to integrate maintenance tasks into an organization’s daily operations.
In other words, TPM lean manufacturing is a holistic approach to equipment maintenance that strives to achieve perfect production with the following:
• ZERO Breakdowns
• No Small Stops or Slow Running versus rated capacity
• ZERO Defects
• ZERO Accidents
