TPM is a critical component of any Lean/process improvement initiative. The TPM/Lean relationship is epitomized by the race car/pit crew relationship. Imagine for a moment that the car is the Lean manufacturing effort and the pit crew is the TPM effort. You need TPM to develop a high performance equipment management effort or the wheels will come off your Lean implementation. Companies succeeding with Lean implementation understand this important relationship. They have seasoned TPM practitioners on their team.

If you are seeking a better understanding of the critical role that TPM can play within your company, be sure and sign up for a certificate program. This year, in addition to the Level I Practitioner Program, we are offering a Level II Practitioner Program as well and we have given you the ability to select the modules that best fit your specific training needs.

TPM Certification Module Introduction
Level 1 Modules
5S and Visual Controls
Learn the principles and techniques needed to apply 5S and establish visual management systems to improve workplace communication and adherence to standards. Achieving Quick Changeover
This module will demonstrate how you can use the principles of changeover to relationship between operators and maintenance, and how to implement operator-based maintenance activities that contribute to overall equipment effectiveness.

Creating Culture Change
Successful implementation of TPM is 20% technical and 80% cultural. In this module learn how to describe your current work culture and your role in it, plus explore common barriers and four steps to creating culture change.

Developing Team-Based Equipment Reliability
This module will carefully explain the basic TPM Pillars. how they relate to each other to create a natural synergy, and how they result in an immediate return of the TPM investment if properly established in today's workplace.

Stores Management
This module focuses on stores management and how it supports TPM. You will consider stores locations, staffing and organization. This information will show how to reduce delays due to stock outs, insuring that the correct parts are on hand when required, and how to maintain lean stock levels.

Understanding and Applying OEE
During this session we will discuss the basics of OEE (measuring the 6 Major Losses), show real life examples(pictures, data from the shop floor), discuss categories of losses and how to approach each loss and eliminate or minimize it.

Understanding the Maintenance Pillar of TPM
The basics of good maintenance are essential for any TPM initiative. This module details the necessary components of the maintenance pillar of TPM and how to make it a sustainable part of your company's TPM strategy.

Level 2 Modules
Communication Issues in Maintenance: Breaking Down the Walls
Maintenance Departments are often left out of the loop when it comes to getting good information about b problem. This module will demonstrate how the flow of information is disrupted and methods of allowing essential information to flow efficiently to and from this vital cog in the manufacturing wheel.

The Future of TPM
This module is designed for organizations that have developed a TPM structure in their organization and have implemented basic TPM strategies. You will learn how to support the pillars of TPM while refining your organization to enhance the competitive focus of TPM.

How to Develop a Lean Business Case for Fast TPM Results
This module looks at historical links between TPM and Lean Manufacturing. Participants will learn how to focus TPM activities on business results, and change the word culture.

How to Develop Maintenance and Operations Training for Fast TPM Results
This module will show how to focus formal training and performance qualifications on results. Participants will learn how to quickly develop and implement formal job task lists for task-specific training with an emphasis on formal OJT and performance qualifications-fulfilling the “Training Pillar” of TPM and the need for “standardized work”.

This module is designed to show how to integrate these initiatives into the TPM strategy to insure that they do not become a “program of the month” or competitive to TPM, but rather supportive initiatives.
