TPM as perceived by most is a Japanese Productivity Improvement Program which is done on top of existing jobs or activities. But it is not. TPM is a System. It is something you use to do your responsibilities and activities.
To improve the factory, first, we need to understand what is the Key Performance Indicators of the Company. What are the Goals, What impedes the company to achieve the goals. For each of the known indicators, a team or individual is assigned to address and improve. A well defined 10-Step Kobetsu Kaizen Methodology is utilised. Each of the issues properly registered and monitored by the responsible departments which is integral part of their functions. There is a complete 8-Pillar TPM Implementation to address all the factory concerns.
Thus, TPM is not additional burden, more so, activities that is added to the current tasks. TPM is a Way of Doing Improvement Activities. It is a well defined System of How to Run the Factory Effectively. The task at hand is to transition the company systems to TPM. It's not so difficult as TPM is also aligned to ISO Quality Systems .
Check out how you are implementing your TPM.... If you feel it's a burden then, you are not adapting teh TPM System properly. For guidance and coaching feel free to contact me.
