Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) is a foundational methodology focusing on proactive and preventive maintenance to maximise the operational efficiency of equipment. It lays the groundwork for enhancing equipment reliability and availability, reducing downtime, and ensuring a safe and optimal working environment.
As organisations mature in their TPM journey, they graduate to implementing OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness). OEE is a comprehensive metric that quantifies how well a manufacturing unit performs relative to its designed capacity, during the periods when it is scheduled to run. It integrates the dimensions of availability, performance efficiency, and quality output, providing a holistic view of equipment productivity.
TPM sets the stage, fostering an environment conducive to optimal equipment utilisation and operational excellence, and OEE builds upon it, offering precise measurement and insights to drive continuous improvement and value creation in manufacturing and service industries.
