TPM in America 

After successful implementation in thousands of important companies in Asia, in the later 70's TPM started being applied in America.

Important organizations like Dupont, Kodak, Motorola, Ford Motor Company, Boeing and also the U.S. Postal Service, started using this "best manufacturing practice" as it has been called by the US Government. Now there are several hundreds of companies under TPM. Although, only a small percentage of companies succeed at implementing this discipline. TPMonLine.com has created this website to supply some information and support to those who want to take advantage of implementing the maintenance system of the future today. We also welcome those in the implementation process who may want to share their experiences. This is a  way to participate in the preservation of the traditional  good will and cooperation among members of the Manufacturing and Plant Engineering community around the world that generates true leadership. 

Total Productive Maintenance is one of the most valuable strategies to follow for those who want to be competitive over the coming "world class competition" decades.
