Total productive maintenance, Operation Management

Assignment Help:

Identify the ways in which Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) could be applied as part of a manufacturing organisation's quality programme.

 

Organisational quality programmes 

A manufacturing organisation's quality programme is likely to include the continuous improvement of all its operations including production time, quality and costs.  Commonly used tools and methods include Kaizen, Six Sigma and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). 

Total Productive Maintenance 

Total Productive Maintenance includes the planning and implementation of a systematic maintenance programme for all machines and equipment. This should contribute towards a manufacturing organisation's operations by maintaining (and hopefully increasing) productivity and quality by: 

  • Stopping unplanned machine breakdowns;
  • Decreasing downtime, speed reduction and defects arising from machine and equipment malfunctioning.

 This should lead to:

  • Cost savings through decreased materials scrapped and the required for reworking faulty items;
  • Improving the accuracy of production forecasting;
  • Eliminating the frustration felt by workers when machines break down, so improving job satisfaction and staff morale.
