10 things will change the way you approach TPM training (Part 2)

In this section, we will continue to explore other benefits of TPM training for employees.

5. Perfection

TPM is majorly applied for achieving machine perfection. In addition to machine availability other factors such as logistical and human aspects play an important role.  That’s why the contribution of employees across different disciplines forms an important part of TPM, making it the best method that monitors expensive machines and prevents the unnecessary maintenance costs from becoming too high and ensures that the production remain unaffected because of these issues.

6. Multidisciplinary teams

Everyone’s joint effort is involved in improving the OEE, which can only be achieved by forming small multidisciplinary teams. TPM focuses on the effective and efficient use of production resources and aims at participation of all departments.

7. Increased quality output

When there is a self-check at every level the chances of defects decrease and that’s how TPM works. A company find outs the area of defects within the production process and allocate quality component ‘tasks’ for each point in production.

As a result, quality improves, and company attains higher customer satisfaction. Staff trust increases in TPM as it helps them in attaining a new level of satisfaction while decreasing the energy wasted in reworking.

8. Productivity improvement

TPM is not only about maintaining productivity but also about maintaining machines and preventing the possible breakdowns while optimizing the machine availability. TPM Training makes every employee aware of the hidden losses with respect to machines and the time required for the repair, saving the company time and cost.

9. Preventive maintenance concept

As the name suggest an action taken to prevent the loss due to lack of maintenance. Running machines till they break is not a trend now. In such scenario if an employee is aware of the issues, he can easily catch the problems before it leads to major breakdown. TPM keeps machinery at the heart of an organization and does not only safeguard the production continuously but also improves it where possible

10. Everyone is responsible

TPM training makes every employee important and responsible for everyday maintenance of a machine. It makes them focused towards the present problematic scenarios that can lead to major breakdowns, if left unnoticed. Employee participation in improvement proposal and maintenance are major features within TPM, they can improve machine efficiency jointly.
