Equipment-heavy operations often suffer from avoidable equipment downtime, which can lead to revenue loss, customer dissatisfaction, excessive spending, and employee frustration.
Total Productive Maintenance—TPM, for short—is a structured method for reducing these risks and achieve maximum equipment effectiveness through employee involvement.

In this course, you’ll learn:
• The six losses operations need to avoid
• How to calculate and use Overall Equipment Effectiveness as a standard measure
• The eight pillars—or components—of TPM
• How to plan, execute, and sustain a TPM practice
• The vital role employees play in achieving success
