Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is maintaining and improving production and quality through the man, machine & processes to add value to an organizational growth. There are eight  Pillars of TPM  (Total Productive Maintenance) in Lean Manufacturing Pillars of TPM  (Total Productive Maintenance) in Lean Manufacturing are useful in improvement of the machines reliability. Eight Pillars of TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) in Lean Manufacturing are listed as - 1.Autonomous Maintenance (Jishu-Hozen) 2.Focused Improvement  (Kobetsu-Kaizen). 3.Planned Maintenance  (Keikaku-Hozen) 4.Quality Maintenance (Hinshitsu-Hozen) 5.Early Equipmemt Maintenance (EEM) & Five S's (5S) 6.Education & Training (E&T) 7.Safety Health & Environment (SHE) 8.Office TPM.

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) in Lean Manufacturing   - Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) in Lean Manufacturing  is a maintenance philosophy designed to integrate equipment maintenance into the manufacturing process for losses elimination due to equipment and keeping equipment with no or less downtime resulting in improved productivity. The process of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) in Lean Manufacturing  is change from corrective maintenance, preventative maintenance, predictive maintenance. TPM is reducing or eliminating production time loss due to machine failures and keeping equipment available to manufacture products for all time. Successful TPM is a group effort where the entire organization works together to maintain and improve the equipment.  The first steps in implementing  Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) in Lean Manufacturing  is team formation to improve the process.  Employees join TPM teams. Operators are trained to perform ro...
