TPM transforms conventional maintenance practices into a science of management specialized for facility maintenance, emphasizing total participation and the role of manufacturing operators. Current TPM activities are expanding to include a company's entire personnel-technicians as well as office workers-and to involve cooperation among outside businesses, vendors, and customers. This new reference manual explores the TPM philosophy, including "Facility-Oriented Management," application and extension of TPM activities, the relationship between PM and production outputs, maintenance planning and management, "Self-Maintenance," functional plant construction, technical education, and the evaluation of PM activities.
