Offers a fresh look at implementing Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). This book takes into account the economic upheavals and demonstrates that TPM is less about moving maintenance tasks to operations than moving accountability for aggregate output of the plant to operators.
Workshop leaders play a central role in your company's efforts to implement TPM. Once your workers have been divided into small groups to learn the fundamentals of TPM, it is the group leader who spearheads ongoing training and implementation activities. This book addresses the role of the workshop leader in maximizing the benefits of TPM.
This book focuses on explaining the TPM activities carried out by equipment operators themselves; autonomous maintenance, focused improvement, and safety initiatives.
Discusses team problem solving and steps for preparing good presentations of results. For front-line supervisors, operators, facilitators and trainers.
Focuses on TPM for embedded designers. This title provides a foundation on the TPM, helping designers take advantage of hardware security based on sound TCG standards. It covers the TPM basics, discussing in detail the TPM Key Hierarchy and the Trusted Platform Module specification. It also includes an accompanying CD-ROM with full source code.
Lean manufacturing cannot happen in a factory that lacks dependable, effective equipment. Breakdowns and processing defects translate into excess work-in-process and finished inventory, kept on hand "just in case." Recurring minor stoppages force employees to watch automated equipment that should run by itself. TPM gives a framework for addressing such problems, but many companies implement TPM at a superficial level, and the resulting productivity gains fall short of their potential. If your TPM implementation has resulted in posters and logos rather than a rise of productivity, how are you addressing this halt of progress? In TPM for the Lean Factory, authors Sekine and Arai teach you to identify and attack the key equipment-related problems and misunderstandings that make plants miss their lean manufacturing goals.Written for companies with a basic TPM framework already in place, you'll learn three powerful approaches for cutting this waste:The new 5Ss: focusing on standard locations and labeling through the first 2SsInstant maintenance: mastering quick repairs of minor equipment failuresImproved setup operations: organizing the preparation to save time and prevent errorsChapters on cell design, product and process quality factor testing, and daily equipment inspection give you additional weapons for fighting waste and low productivity.For practical application, an implementation overview summarizes the steps for each topic, keyed to a set of 50 adaptable worksheets and examples. A practical and supportive resource, TPM for the Lean Factory extends a fresh vision and focus to help you get top results from your TPM efforts.
Autonomous maintenance is an especially important pillar of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) because it enlists the intelligence and skills of the people who are most familiar with factory machines-- equipment operators. Operators learn the maintenance skills they need to know through a seven-step autonomous maintenance program. Most companies in the West stop after implementing the first few steps and never realize the full benefits of autonomous maintenance. This book contains comprehensive coverage of all seven steps--not just the first three or four.It includes:An overview of autonomous maintenance features and checklists for step audits to certify team achievement at each AM step.TPM basics such as the six big losses, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), causes of losses, and six major TPM activities.An implementation plan for TPM and five countermeasures for achieving zero breakdowns.Useful guidelines and case studies in applying AM to manual work such as assembly, inspection, and material handling.Integrates examples from Toyota, Asai Glass, Bridgestone, Hitachi, and other top companies.By treating machines as partners and taking responsibility for them, you get machines that you can rely on and help maintain an energized and responsive workplace.For companies that are serious about taking autonomous maintenance beyond mere cleaning programs, this is an essential sourcebook and implementation support.
Uw machinepark kan wel eens dubbel zo groot zijn als u denkt. Naast elke machine staat namelijk vaak nog een zelfde 'verborgen' machine. De kunst is om deze verborgen capaciteit zichtbaar te maken en te gebruiken. 'Het mysterie van de verborgen machine' biedt u de sleutel tot dit geheim; Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). DIt van oorsprong Japanse meetinstrument maakt productieverliezen inzichtelijk, zodat ze met behulp van verbeterstrategieen als TPM, Lean Manufacturing of Six Sigma opgelost kunnen worden. Het boek is geschikt voor zowel diepgaande bestudering als voor een snelle scan van de kernpunten van OEE. Een handige leidraad dus voor zowel operators, onderhoudsmensen en teamleiders, als voor management en stafdiensten.

Total productive maintenance (TPM), a Japanese management protocol developed to alleviate production losses caused by machine breakdowns has moved on.Through TPM, more companies accept the concept of Zero Breakdowns as achievable. From the foundation of zero breakdowns, world class plants are able to run for complete shifts without the need for intervention. TPM is still pushing back the boundaries of what was thought possible. Driven by the proven principles of TPM, the book emphasises the need to build on existing good practices and to win commitment by delivering results. The book provides a practical guide to delivering TPM benefits and is based on the authors' first hand experience of seeing TPM in Japan. It adapts these benefits to suit the strategic needs of companies across four continents. "e;TPM A Route to World Class Performance"e; builds on Peter Willmott's earlier book, "e;TPM the Western Way"e;, updating the scope of applications and tools. The TPM route map is updated to include the journey to zero breakdowns and beyond. It also provides a systematic structure to evolve from the classic Total Productive Maintenance towards Total Productive Manufacturing and deliver a Totally Productive Operation capable of world leading performance.
Merging the benefits of two well-known methodolgies, Lean Thinking and Total Productive Maintenance, Lean TPM shows how to secure increased manufacturing efficiency.Based on their experienc of working with organisations that have successfully achieved outstanding performance, McCarthy and Rich provide the tools and techniques that convert strategic vision into practical reality. Lean TPM accelerates the benefits of continuous improvement activities within any manufacturing environment by challenging wasteful working practices, releasing the potential of the workforce, targeting effectiveness and making processes work as planned. * Unites world-class manufacturing, Lean Thinking and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)* Shows how to achieve zero breakdowns* Optimises processes to deliver performance and new products efficiently* Delivers benefit from continuous improvement activities quicklyLean TPM provides a single change agenda for organisations. It will help to develop robust supply chain relationships and to optimise the value generating process. Supported by an integrated route map and comprehensive benchmark data, this book enables engineers, technicians and managers to explore this potent technique fully.* Unites the concepts of world-class manufacturing, Lean and TPM.* Shows how to accelerate the benefits gained from continuous improvement activities.* Includes an integrated route map for Lean TPM, including benchmark data.
