New TPM: Total Productive Maintenance

Course details

The modern business world is a rapidly changing environment, so the last thing a company needs if it is to compete in the global marketplace is to get in its own way because of the way in which it approaches the business of looking after its income generating physical assets. It is important to have a fundamental rethink of business processes to achieve improvements in cost, quality, speed etc.

The New TPM – Total Productive Manufacturing is a manufacturing led initiative that emphasizes the importance of people, a 'can do' and 'continuous improvement' philosophy and the importance of everyone, not just production staff, working together.
