TPM in Process Industries (Step-By-Step Approach to TPM Implementation)

Process industries have a particularly urgent need for collaborative equipment management systems, but until now have lacked for programs directed toward their specific needs. TPM in Process lndustries brings together top consultants from the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance to modify the original TPM Development Program.

In this volume, they demonstrate how to analyze process environments and equipment issues including process loss structure and calculation, autonomous maintenance, equipment and process improvement, and quality maintenance. For all organizations managing large equipment, facing low operator/machine ratios, or implementing extensive improvement, this text is an invaluable resource.

Autonomous Maintenance in Seven Steps (TPM)

Autonomous maintenance is an especially important pillar of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) because it enlists the intelligence and skills of the people who are most familiar with factory machines-- equipment operators. Operators learn the maintenance skills they need to know through a seven-step autonomous maintenance program. Most companies in the West stop after implementing the first few steps and never realize the full benefits of autonomous maintenance.

This book contains comprehensive coverage of all seven steps--not just the first three or four.

"Undoubtedly the best book for developing TPM pillar methodology. Produced by the JIPM consulting team, it is an excellent guide to understanding how TPM pillars operate. Unfortunately, it does not include organizational and change management aspects necessary for the success of an advanced TPM project."
