TPM is based on six pillars, which are key elements in machine maintenance management: Autonomous Maintenance: Employees are involved in the daily maintenance and care of the machines, which includes cleaning, lubrication and minor repairs. This eliminates minor failures and maintains production continuity. Planned Maintenance: Maintenance work is planned and performed on schedule to avoid machine downtime due to predictable faults. Quality Maintenance: Focus on maintaining product quality by minimizing defects and faults in production processes. Focused Improvement: Continuously improve processes and eliminate waste by involving teams of employees in problem solving and making improvements. Early Equipment Management: Focus on improving the design and implementation of new machinery and manufacturing processes. Safety & Environmental Maintenance: Implementing and adhering to safety standards and taking care to minimize environmental impact.
