TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) Operator Care

Based on popular text, 

Add Industry  : Any industry where there are operators of the assets and they are available for basic maintenance tasks.

 

Who : Unlike almost any other maintenance strategy, TPM is primarily housed within the operation group, so full participation from operations at all levels is essential.

The other unique aspect is that while TPM is driven by top management, it is primarily an operations worker effort. The direct manufacturing workers need to be trained in their new roles. Besides, maintenance supervisors, managers, PM leads, PM workers should attend because they will serve as facilitators and trainers. Your in-house experts can conduct shorter training (after we train them and supply them with suitable training materials).

What : This course is offered in a variety of formats for different audiences. The student receives a spiral workbook and the text Lean Maintenance by Joel Levitt

  • add 1-day class.
  • Virtual 2 4-hour sessions.

Some of what you will learn

TPM draws in the entire workforce and has a powerful impact on the plant’s complete output. The most challenging lesson is how to keep TPM going after the initial roll-out. One of the keys presented here is a comprehensive understanding of what to do, why to do it, and what’s in it for the worker.

There is much to know to design productive TPM activity for different types of equipment. In a short time, this course will bring an entire department to a deeper understanding of how to make TPM more effective.

Training options :

We are flexible about your specific needs for outcomes from the course.

Option 1
Option 1

The most basic way is to present a standard course after a brief email conversation about goals and objectives. The courses are tried and tested and have been used to good effect worldwide in many maintenance situations.

Option 2
Option 2

The second and most common option involves a one-day site visit before the class. This visit allows me to add examples from your facility, adjust the verbal presentation to suit your needs, meet some key players, and see some of the unique problems you face.

Option 3
Option 3

involves a more extensive site visit (to be defined) a few weeks before the class. This extra time allows me to customize and add examples from your facility and adjust the verbal presentation to suit your needs. It is always good to meet some of the key players and see for myself some of the unique problems you face.

Option 4
Option 4

The third option is to conduct a maintenance audit survey that looks at all the aspects of maintenance, evaluates areas where improvements are possible, and slanting the training to the competencies needed to implement the upgrades uncovered in the survey.
