TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE (TPM) & 5S

Available in both virtual and in-person, instructor-led formats, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) focuses on getting managers, maintenance personnel, and equipment users all working together to prevent equipment problems and reduce expenditures. By giving ownership and responsibility of equipment and processes to the right employees, equipment breakdowns are reduced. The Lean Manufacturing concept of 5S provides a systematic approach to setting standards and visual guides for preventing breakdowns and making your equipment run smoothly.
