TPM Training - where to start?
Indeed, where to start your TPM training? There is a vast array of literature and training available. The best option is to start by reading about TPM, as you do right now. Other options include: 1. Attending a TPM course 2. Bringing in a TPM consultant 3. Joining, if possible, a nearby lean consortium 4. Visiting non-competitive businesses that have experience in TPM (training and implementation) 5. Hire a lean manufacturing manager who can teach your employees and start the actual implementation process 6. Learn by doing it. Start with the Autonomous Maintenance part and follow the implementation steps. You know, so much is just common sense: - writing down the main issues with the equipment from operators and maintenance personnel - collecting information from the equipment manuals about regular inspections and Preventative Maintenance (PM) tasks as recommended by the original equipment manufacturer - making a schedule and ensuring that all activities are being followed accordingly So, take time and learn on your own before you attempt to jump into expensive learning programs.
