TPM(Total Productive Maintenance)は、生産活動でのロスをなくすマネジメント手法です。

TPM eliminates loss = pursues production system efficiency to the ultimate level.

TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) is a management method aims to create a structure that allows manufacturing companies to sustainably secure profits (building a profitable corporate structure), and to create a system and mechanism to continuously implement human resource development, work and equipment improvement.

There are many factors that hinder the maximization of output in the "production system", and this is the so-called "loss". It is necessary to eliminate the loss that has occurred, and TPM not only eliminates the loss, but also creates a mechanism to prevent any loss. This mechanism is to be created by using actual site (Genba), actual things (Genbutsu). For example, realization of equipment that does not break down, equipment that does not cause defects, and equipment that does not cause disasters.

"Example of predictive maintenance of plant equipment"

• 
  Plant motor
• • Use a non-contact sonic sensor to predict by frequency.
  • Use change in motor current consumption to predict.
  • Prediction from vibration. Vibration acceleration sensor to detect vibration to the bearing.
• 
  Data conversion of equipment operation status
