Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a proactive approach aimed at maximizing the efficiency of manufacturing equipment. It involves all employees in the maintenance process, encouraging teamwork to prevent breakdowns and reduce downtime. By focusing on continuous improvement, TPM helps organizations maintain high levels of productivity and quality. TPM includes several key elements, such as autonomous maintenance, where operators take responsibility for routine maintenance tasks, and planned maintenance, which schedules regular inspections and repairs. This holistic strategy not only enhances equipment reliability but also fosters a culture of ownership and accountability among workers.
