TPM Consultants | Total Productive Maintenance Consulting

Achieve Higher Quality, Fewer Defects & Lower Manufacturing Cost with us.

TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) is a culture that focuses on improving the effectiveness of the plant, equipment and processes through the empowerment of people to achieve perfect production.

TPM emphasises proactive and preventative maintenance to maximise the operational efficiency of equipment. It blurs the distinction between the roles of production and maintenance by placing a strong emphasis on empowering operators to help and maintain their equipment.

By involving operators in maintaining their own equipment and emphasizing proactive and preventive maintenance, we lay the foundation for improved production with fewer breakdowns, stops, and defects. As expert TPM consultants specializing in Total Productive Maintenance, we are dedicated to helping you achieve these goals.

Why Companies Choose the TPM Approach: Insights from TPM Consultants

Before TPM implementation operator only use the machine and the maintenance person is responsible for daily maintenance due to which maintenance persons don’t get enough time for preventive maintenance. After successfully implementing tpm in manufacturing industry, they can produce their product in LESS TIME, LESS COST, ZERO LOSS, without affecting quality of the product. 

The goal of TPM is to Increase production as well as improve the moral and job satisfaction of employees. Through achieving -ZERO FAILURE, ZERO LOSS, ZERO DEFECT, ZERO ACCIDENT
