Start Date : 24 Feb ,2025
End Date : 28 Feb ,2025
Duration : 5 Days
 
Overview: 
TPM originated in the Japanese manufacturing industry and was one of the principal reasons for the rise of the Japanese automotive industry. It is based on the implementation of basic but important and logical methods using teamwork as a core discipline. This course looks closely at the advantages and disadvantages of TPM, with a focus on the practicalities of implementation. The focus will be on how to make TPM an effective and living tool. 
Delegates will cover the fundamentals thoroughly by practicing the key steps in workshop exercises. The process and benefits of TPM will be addressed in-depth, as well as its pitfalls and requirements. Delegates will concentrate on understanding and managing this technique, defining how to bring significant returns to the organizations which implement them, and how to avoid the problem areas. 
 
 
Course Objectives: 
The objective of the course is to provide an integrated program covering the key areas of Operations & Maintenance Management concerned with Planning, Scheduling, and Total Productive Maintenance. The program aims to provide an overview of methodology and practice, with a view to enabling delegates to be updated on current approaches, to understand current issues, and to be able to apply the relevant thinking and techniques in the context of their own organizations. 
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to: 
Learn and practice the fundamentals of TPM and understand the process of planning and implementing TPM 
Identify the pitfalls of TPM and develop strategies to avoid them 
Understand how to keep TPM fresh, effective and current and see how to integrate TPM with EAM/CMMS
