It is something that can be perpetually implemented and will never be outmoded regardless of the improvements in technology.

TIP on TPM....
TIP- Total Involvement of People.... that's my TIP.
Successful TPM Implementation requires Total Involvement of all the People in the organization from the President down to the janitor and even to the support or outside companies, and external job providers.
If only a certain segment of the organization is doing TPM, it is standing on an unstable grounds and is due to fall. It is like riding in a zip line. Both ends of the line must be properly secured and along the line, it must be made sure that the whole length is totally and securely connected. Any disconnect, or weak link and connection will spell disaster.
Much the same way with TPM, all people in the organization must be linked towards TPM Implementation. There office personnel, the warehouse people, the people in the manufacturing lines, the support groups, the safety and security groups, the nurses and doctors on factory clinics must be totally involved. Any single department or individual not fully enrolled and supportive of TPM will make the whole system drag. On the other hand, when all people are totally linked, maximum gains can be obtained.
Like flying through the ZIP lines, it is an exhilarating experience when everything and everyone is linked and involved!
If you want to learn more how to implement TPM in your factory, and how to achieve and harness total people involvement and its impact, we are just an email away.
God bless!

Keep it SImple...Keep on GOING!
TPM is a typical Japanese culture based activity that is SIMPLE.
If you look at the way they construct their house, they prepare and serve their food, and even their old castles are made so simple. Even the traditional dress is simple. Yet so elegant and functional.
In view of its simplicity, it is is easy to do. Just like TPM, it is so easy to do as it is a STEP by STEP process leading to GREAT results.
However, simple as it is , it requires a lot of DISCIPLINE to accomplish. Collective discipline that is. The whole factory, and the whole population of that factory needs to be INVOLVED and adhere to the steps.
And another key thing is to keep on going till everyone and everything in the factory smell, look, taste like TPM. Back steps will result to degradation and would make the previous efforts not achieve full potentials. Stop and Go activities makes the process longer and confuses the people in the organization.
So keep TPM SIMPLE and Keep on GOING!
If you want to implement TPM in your factory, I would be more than willing to help.
God bless!

Happy New Year! Happy Old TPM...
New year brings new hope , and everyone hope for something new as well.... But when it comes o TPM, real TPM, this is a time tested and proven system that need not change. The basic and fundamental steps must be retained while the documentation process maybe upgraded and automated for ease of data input, tracking and processing.
The basic concepts and steps which creates or enhance teamwork and discipline are the cornerstones of TPM which in the last 50 years has not been and cannot be changed by advancement in technology. After all, while many companies had great success in reducing people in the workplace through Automation and Datamation, the factory still cannot run without people running the systems.
Happy New Year...but still Happy Old TPM!
God bless!
