TPM (Total Productive Maintenance)

TPM aims to maximize the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) applied to the entire lifecycle of production equipment at the same time minimizing lifecycle costs by avoiding and eliminating 6 sources of wastage: System failures, set-up and setting losses, idling and short stoppages, reduced cycle times, start-up difficulties and quality losses.

The procedure of U² regarding this matter – as always- is very parctical- and implementation oriented. ist auch bei diesem Thema sehr praxis-und umsetzungsorientiert. Conceptually we align our initiatives after the 5 pillars of TPM:

• Elimination of key issues
• Autonomous Maintenance
• Planned Maintenence Program
• Preventive Maintenance
• Teaching and Training

Content/Structure

• Training of participants and explanation of method; target group: staff members of maintenance, setup teams and manufacturing
• Definition of OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and measurement of initial state at chosen machine / piece of equipment
• Impact analysis and detection of sources of loss on factors of OEE (level of utilization performance rate and quality grade)
• Gradual structure of TPM method aligned to 5 pillars and subordinate 7 stages e.g. elimination of key issues (1. Pillar)
• Creation of maintenance- and action plan

What do you get on top of this?

• EOP^plus (EquipmentOptimzationProcess) – we take Optimization a step further and optimize clamping devices, tools and control programs
• Setup time reduction, SMED as a further mean to increase equipment and machinery efficiency
