Airports and Railway Stations are run by government and they are very good target for TPM Implementation. The basic 5S is almost complete.
So the next steps will just be focused on how to improve the efficiency and productivity of the institution and the team members.
I just hope somebody in the government realizes the need to do TPM as it is not solely applicable to private companies.
So if you are in government, whether local or national level, and you want to know more about TPM, just drop me an email. This will certainly help our government increase efficiency in service and reduce cost.
God bless!

TPM Means Never Ending Improvements
May companies search for one true and lasting program to encourage and motivate their employees to excel. Many consultancy companies abound offering the "eureka" to all the companies ailments. Along with the programs are expensive software and systems that gets outmoded.Some succeeds to find a program that works but does not last for long.
TPM is very simple approach in achieving a long term and long lasting improvements in the factory. It also harnesses the energies, creativity , and enthusiasm of all the employees of the company. What is even more impressive about TPM is that it does not only improve the factory performance . Itt also creates harmony, well being, and high morale among the employees. It is something that can be perpetually implemented and will never be outmoded regardless of the improvements in technology.
If you want Total and Never Ending Improvements...TPM is the way....

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!

TPM Expert Systems
Exactly what do I mean by Expert System? How does it relate to Kobetsu Kaizen?
Expert System I refer to are compilation of problem solving documents that have been completed. The source of which is the Kobetsu Kaizen Pillar. We call it as such as the expert solution are documented and therefore perpetuated as anyone who are new in the area can study and learn from what the previous experts had done.
In the recent past before the advent of computer database, the expert system are compilations of the Kobetsu Kaizen documentation. These documentations comes either in the form of format Technical Paper or a pre-formatted OPLs (One Point Lessons) , or OCAPs (Out of Control Plans) which details the problem encountered and solutions or steps to take to resolve the problem. All these resides on hard copy controlled documents.
In the advent of sophisticated computer systems, the compilation are still of the same form but is now compiled into the computer for easy upload and download. It is also made easily accessible to facilitate trouble shooting.
Expert Systems therefore have gone through rigorous confirmation that Kobetsu Kaizen Steps provides.
If you want to install Expert Systems, you need to start first with Kobetsu Kaizen.
Should you need assistance , please feel free to contact me.
God bless!

How to Keep the Expertise Intact...
Most common problem of companies arises from people movement either internally or to outside companies. This phenomenon specially occurs during times when the economy of the world is good and jobs abound, It is simply because movements provides opportunities for better pay and position or level. Good for the people but not for the company specially for companies that requires special skills on a niche type of equipment. So how do we resolve this? How do we make sure we can have seamless transition between incoming new hires and those that leave the company? How do we keep the expertise intact and the production efficiencies on the continuous upward trend?
The solution is simple. Implement the TPM Improvement Pillar- Kobetsu Kaizen to the fullest. This is so because Kobetsu Kaizen is a system that will ensure the following: 1. Expertise is achieved through shared systematic activity, 2. Expert Solutions are tracked and documented, and 3. Expertise is fanned out.
When expertise is shared and is achieved through systematic means, then it can be repeatable, and thus no longer dependent on specific individuals. You can liken that to a "burger house" preparation for their french fries which follows certain parameters and sequence or system which is repeated in all their outlets. In Kobetsu Kaizen, on top of being systematic, an added important ingredient is the fact that the improvements are achieved through collaborative team efforts and not just by one individual which ensures that the expertise lies within the team and not on one singular person.
More importantly, in Kobetsu Kaizen, the Expert System is perpetuated through the systematic documentation of the improvement actions. Proforma sheets that documents the initial formation of the team to final fan out of the actions are used which ensures uniformity and repeatability as well as ease of access through computer based tracking.
The fan out to other equipment is also assured making the fan out of the expertise a given.
So , if your company is challenged with people movement which causes drain in the technical expertise , then you have the solution...Go for TPM-Kobetsu Kaizen....
