Total Productive Maintenance developed from concepts promoted by the Japanese Plant Maintenance Institute in 1972. Whilst it is management led and should ideally be part of a company wide total Quality Control Programme, it is primarliy a programme to involve the workforce in self management to a fairly high level.
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is the key measure of the tangible benefits obtainable from TPM and the means by which this can be calculated and monitored will be fully discussed.
This TPM course and others in the Lean Manufacturing series are based on David Hutchins extensive experience in Production Engineering in the automotive industry, the management of Quality and more than 30 years intensive research into Japanese management systems. David has visited most Toyota plants in Japan and in the UK, several of its suppliers including Nippon Denso and NGK Spark Plugs, Nissan both in Japan and the UK together with Calsonic, Honda and Hino Motors. He has also worked with Ford in the UK and Germany, Iran Khodro in Iran and parts suppliers in Hungary and Tunisia.
It has been said of David in Japan that he is the European that understands Japanese management better than any other Westerner that we have met.
This course will also be supported by one of the best trainers in the Lean Manufacturing field.
Success requires a good understanding of the fundamental principles behind the process and considerable organisation before the participative process begins. This course will enable managers to understand their role and to begin the planning process. The development of 5S/5C teams is a natural follow on to the development of TPM. This will be fully discussed in our course.
