Total Productive Maintenance (or TPM) is a comprehensive productivity strategy designed to empower every level of your organization to become deeply involved in equipment effectiveness. The ultimate goal being to improve overall equipment effectiveness.
The main objective of TPM is to eliminate six major losses in production:

• Downtime losses
• Setup losses
• Speed losses
• Idle minor stoppages
• Quality losses
• Startup losses

Many companies struggle to implement TPM due to two main reasons. First is in understanding the linkages between the eight pillars and true operational excellence—many books on TPM will be long on theory and short on implementation details. The second is that TPM require more time, efforts and resources that many companies believe they can afford. This is due to amount of initial involvement and training required.
