TPMonLine was created when I learned that from among
all the thousands of American companies who have sent
their executives, technicians, and engineers to different
courses and seminars on the topic, only a few hundred are
really succeeding.
Implementing Total Productive Maintenance is not a
difficult task. However, it requires some customized training
in order to succeed. The results of implementing an effective
program in terms of increased plant efficiency and
productivity are outstanding.
Here is
how we have been doing it and you can
too...
We have put together the knowledge and experience
necessary so you can get YOUR people trained in YOUR plant to
get YOUR particular program UP and RUNNING in less than one
month. (In most cases).
Day # 1.- We will begin with a managerial meeting.
Since TPM implies a set of new values in terms of authority
and hierarchical organization, it is needed that top
management supports the effort and all the people be aware of
that support. In this 4-6 hr. session we will make sure that
everyone in the top levels understands the essence of TPM. It
is an interactive session where we all learn about the plant
and the benefits of TPM implementation.
Day # 1 Part 2.- The group above will meet for a plant
tour with the key "operative" people: included here will be
production and maintenance supervisors, if possible some
people from manufacturing, a minimum of three operators and
three maintenance technicians, to take a tour in your plant
(30 to 60 minutes), and have YOUR TPM Coordinator
develop the foundations for the program based on very simple
realistic guidelines. A new way of walking through the plant
will start as of that day. After the tour, the managerial
group is done.
Day # 1 Part 3.- The operative group meets for about
4-6 hrs. to learn about the basics of TPM, what it will do for
them and what they can do for it.
Day # 2.- We meet again with the operative group for
one day and train them in the TPM philosophy basics. We also
review the program and help them polish and refine it. The
strategies for implementation are then established. The
machine that will be the focus of the pilot effort is
selected. A preliminary assessment is made to prepare the
parts, operation and maintenance manuals, and a profile of the
team to begin the project. The initial inspection takes place
and the hands on experience begins.
Days # 3 and 4.- We meet for the last time in the
launching process. For one or two days, we get the pilot
effort started, coach YOUR coordinator throughout the training
of the first team (4-6 people) and we participate with them in
the "Hands-On" experience.
Thereafter, we will keep close email / phone contact
with your coordinator.
Some major companies may have special needs. We will
create a plan to fulfill their needs.
Your cost? A fraction of what you could have paid for a
few trainees in travel expenses, courses fees, etc.
Your
results? Far better!
The difference? We see TPM as an excellent business
for our customers and a professional opportunity for
us. We MAKE SURE you get your TPM system Up and
Running!
It is worth it! Let us get in touch and schedule
a preliminary meeting and presentation. We are already
willing to share our enthusiasm about your project and ready
to go! Give us the opportunity and you will be very proud of
YOUR accomplishments as soon as the
first week.
