Results of TPM claimed to be worth the effortTotal productive maintenance (TPM) is a simple concept capable of delivering results that are "worth the effort", an expert has claimed.

The editor in chief of website Plant Services stated he had spoken to professionals in the manufacturing field who had been pleased with the impact of TPM strategies on their business.

According to Paul Studebaker, production and maintenance personnel can collaborate to produce operations management improvements that minimise costs and maximise efficiency simply by establishing a dialogue and altering working habits.

He said that TPM "is simple, but not easy, at least, not in a traditional manufacturing environment", but added that it could make the difference between survival and failure in the current competitive environment, enhancing job security and boosting productivity.

Those concerned with continuous improvement measures may be interested in employing TPM in order to reduce wastage, reduce costs, increase staff morale and improve the maintenance of plants and equipment to increase their longevity.ADNFCR-3058-ID-19838867-ADNFCR
