TPM– improving ourselves.

Maintenance is vital for any asset. There are various ways of maintaining it. It might differ for small industries and big industries as it depends upon the work load you put on your machines ar any other asset. Hence Total productive maintenance is a techique via which this processes can be done effectively. TPM incorporates various steps which a company needs to follow in order to implement it sucessfully. There are various advantages of TPM as well as shortcomings. But if we try and focus on our activities than it would be sucessful.

While doing PMA, I went throughTPM implementation process for the first time, I understood that this is not an easy process. It needs proper commitement towards work, proper team work is required and various other things. There are various process if employees follow it perfectly than we can say that, in the process of maintaining thier assets they will also start maintaining themself. As there are several things which we need to follow in order to implement TPM, hence this makes an employee habituated to work properly while keeping their surroundings clean. Hence this will benefit them selves as well. It is not mentioned anywhere in literature but this is my personal experience. After focusing 40 hours on implementation I realised the point of maintenance and started with myself. As to reach to final destination a small step towards it is beneficial. Hence if at all I came across TPM in future, it would be very easy for me to implement.

So I think that TPM is such a technique which helps maintaining things as well as overselves.
