TPM Implementation

We provide guidance on TPM implementation to enhance equipment effectiveness, minimize breakdowns, and increase productivity. Our training focuses on the 8 pillars of TPM and involves operators in maintaining machinery, promoting autonomous maintenance, and reducing downtime.

What is TPM?

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a maintenance approach that aims for zero breakdowns, zero defects and zero accidents. Operators, maintenance staff and management share responsibility for keeping equipment in top condition, so machines are available, run at the right speed and produce good quality.

How PKP Technology implements TPM

Equipment study: we review breakdown history and measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
5S foundation: work areas around machines are organised and cleaned.
Autonomous maintenance: operators are trained to clean, inspect, lubricate and tighten their machines.
Planned maintenance: a schedule based on equipment condition and history replaces reactive repairs.
Focused improvement: teams attack the biggest causes of losses using root-cause analysis.
Training and review: skill building, OEE tracking and regular reviews keep TPM on track.

Benefits of TPM

Fewer unplanned breakdowns and less downtime
Higher OEE and production output
Better product quality from stable machines
Longer equipment life and lower maintenance cost
Safer operations and more skilled operators

Who can benefit

Manufacturing units, engineering and process industries, small and medium enterprises, engineering colleges, laboratories and administrative offices. PKP Technology is based in Coimbatore and supports organisations across Tamil Nadu and India, on-site or through training sessions for your team.

Frequently asked questions

What is OEE?

Overall Equipment Effectiveness combines availability, performance and quality into one percentage that shows how well a machine is used.

Do operators need technical skills for TPM?

Operators learn basic care tasks such as cleaning, inspection and lubrication. Complex repairs stay with the maintenance team.

Can TPM work in small factories?

Yes. TPM can start on one critical machine and then spread to the rest of the plant.
