Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a new approach to plant maintenance that combines productive maintenance with total quality control and employee involvement. This expert guide offers you a proven, step-by-step program for implementing TPM on various types of manufacturing shop floors, especially in the equipment-oriented assembly industry.

You'll find complete information on basic TPM concepts, and learn about the seven steps to autonomous maintenance: initial cleaning ... equipment improvement ... effective lubrication ... overall inspection ... achieving zero breakdowns ... achieving zero defects ... and maintaining autonomous super-vision once goals are attained.

TPM Implementation features:

  • Comprehensive guidance on implementing a TPM program in any plant
  • Special instructions for applying the TPM concept to repetitive manual work such as the automobile assembly process
  • A detailed look at quality control as it is practiced on the factory floor
  • Case studies from Toyota, Asai Glass, Bridgestone, Hitachi, and other Japanese firms


This essential sourcebook will give you the tools you need to correct undesirable conditions on the shop floor, improve frontline engineering and plant operations, and educate plant personnel in order to achieve zero quality defects.
