The Five Pillars of TPM
From TPM for Supervisors by Kunio Shirose:
- Improvement activities designed to increase equipment effectiveness. This is accomplished mainly by eliminating the six big equipment losses.
- An autonomous maintenance program to be performed by equipment operators.This is established as operators are trained to know their equipment.
- A planned maintenance system. This increases the efficiency of traditional preventive maintenance activities.
- Training to improve operation and maintenance skills.This raises the skill levels of equipment operators and maintenance workers.
- A system for PM design and early requipment management. PM design helps create equipment that requires less maintenance. Early equipment management gets new equipment operating normally in less time.
