According to total productivity maintenance experts – TPM is a management method first applied in Japan, then popularized and widely applied in industrial manufacturing industries worldwide. TPM is a management method that links the two concepts of Maintenance (also known as maintenance) and Quality Productivity.
Implementing TPM helps businesses optimize operating performance, eliminate problems and errors of machinery and equipment through self-maintenance of machinery in the daily production process. This will help businesses rationalize production costs, improve product and service quality, and enhance competitiveness in the market.
The pillars of TPM activities include: Autonomous maintenance or self-maintenance; Focused innovation; Planned maintenance; Maintain quality; Training and coaching; Control from the beginning; TPM activities at the office block; Safety, health and environment.
According to experts from the Vietnam Productivity Institute, currently, the implementation of TPM is applied by many businesses, especially those operating in the manufacturing sector. In particular, TPM brings businesses self-managed maintenance. Along with that, planned maintenance is also one of the activities of TPM to help businesses detect and repair damage to machinery and equipment in a timely manner, avoiding the situation where machinery and equipment stop working.
The virtual training session kept attendees engaged and received lots of interesting questions from students. All questions have been satisfactorily answered by STAMEQ experts.
