TPM Needs Leadership

Components for successful TPM includes among others, Total People Involvement, Total Management Commitment, TPM Leadership, and TPM Consultant.

Among this component, the most difficult to develop is TPM Leadership, and yet this is the most critical component in ensuring continuous, and relentless pursuit of TPM Activities.

Natural leaders, the Supervisors and Managers of each area are expected to take this role on their specific areas, but an Overall TPM Leader (or in some companies they call this as TPM Champion) needs either to emerge from among the leaders or be assigned by the Company President who is in fact the TPM Champion himself. So the one assigned will be his alter ego in the actual implementation of TPM.

Absence of this TPM Champion or weak leadership of the TPM Champion will surely delay or hamper the implementation of the TPM Activities in the factory. So check it out, is there a designated TPM Champion?

God bless!
