Introduction
This course delivers a comprehensive introduction to Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), a proven system for maximizing equipment reliability and overall operational performance. You will gain a practical understanding of TPM’s eight components, with particular emphasis on Autonomous Maintenance—where operators take ownership of cleaning, inspection, and routine care—driving both equipment stability and cultural transformation through cross-functional collaboration. The course also covers Focused Improvement methods, performance measurement using key operational metrics, and concludes with a structured Gap Closure analysis to help you identify improvement opportunities and implement TPM effectively within your facility.
