Total Productive Management

Can the productivity of a company be increased by 30% or even 50%? Is it possible to sustainably raise the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of a manufacturing operation from 60% to over 80%? Can business processes be shortened in such a way that significantly better and faster customer service becomes possible? Are value creation increases of 50% or more merely a utopia? Is it achievable for employees to fully identify with the company's goals and to contribute their entire knowledge and skills for the benefit of the company with pride and conviction? These are some of the questions that this practical book aims to answer. The goal is to teach professionals and students the fundamentals of Total Productive Management (TPM) and to familiarize interested readers with the extensive concepts of TPM. After reading, the reader will understand the basic and advanced components of TPM. They will have an overview of the most important TPM tools and know the steps necessary for implementing TPM in a company or organization.
