Course Description
This flexible-duration Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) course (1, 2, or 3 days) provides participants with the knowledge and skills to implement a proactive maintenance strategy that maximizes equipment effectiveness, minimizes downtime, and extends asset life. TPM engages all employees, from operators to management, in maintaining and improving equipment performance.
Through interactive workshops, hands-on activities, and real-world case studies, participants will learn the eight pillars of TPM, how to identify and eliminate the root causes of equipment loss, and how to measure and improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The course emphasizes the financial benefits of TPM, including reduced maintenance costs, increased production capacity without capital investment, fewer breakdowns, and improved product quality.
