Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) aims for zero defects, breakdowns, and losses through total employee participation in maintenance to increase productivity. TPM is productive maintenance that seeks to eliminate downtime through breakdowns and setups, speed losses from idling or reduced speeds, and defects from rework or unstable production, by maintaining equipment, operating conditions, restoring deterioration, improving skills, and identifying hidden problems. TPM requires maintaining basic equipment, operating conditions, restoring deterioration, correcting design weaknesses, improving technical skills, and exposing hidden defects.
