TPM in a Lean Organization
How to Create a Lean Formula for TPM in Your Plant

Moving from reactive maintenance and run to failure mode to a more total productive and preventative maintenance in a lean environment will be covered. Specific topics addressed will be CMMS (computerized maintenance management systems), spare parts inventory and maintenance, operator training and preventative maintenance, predictive maintenance techniques and the contribution of 5S+1 to uptime. Also, how to create PM’s, mechanic involvement and VTPM or Visual TPM will be presented.

Upon completion of this interactive simulation, participants will learn:

• Change their maintenance from reactive to proactive and predictive
• Develop Visual TPM process
• Leverage 5S+1 to improved uptime and reliability
• Determine how to handle “monuments” and justify capital to increase throughput
