5S as the TPM Foundation

TPM has two basic foundations. One is total people involvement and the other one is 5S Implementation.

However, make no mistake to believe that once you do the cleaning and arrangements of equipments, tools and workplace that you are already doing TPM.

Just like building a house, the very foundation must be made strong and stable so that the house can withstand the test of nature. Same with TPM, 5S Implementation prepares the workplace and the people.

5S TPM is also done in a systematic, step by step process. 5S TPM is not a one time deal, but a serious effort to define cleaning standards, and address areas and sources of contamination and abnormalities.
