As Greg Hayes, CEO of Raytheon Technologies, once remarked, "Operational excellence is not just about improving manufacturing processes. It is about instituting a culture of continuous improvement wherein the organizations' people, processes, and technologies work harmoniously to deliver optimal business results." One embodiment of this culture is the practice of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM).
For effective implementation, take a look at these Total Productive Maintenance best practices:
TPM is an innovative approach to maintenance that focuses on proactive and preventative measures to maximize the operational efficiency of equipment. It involves a shared responsibility for equipment maintenance to ensure optimal machine availability.
For a deep understanding of TPM, one must grasp its eight foundational pillars. With roots back to Japanese industrial practices, these pillars form the underlying structure of a successful TPM program.

Despite myriad benefits, TPM implementation is not without its challenges. Key among them is driving cultural change— shifting from a reactive to a proactive stance on maintenance. To overcome resistance, prioritize clear communication about the benefits of TPM and involve all stakeholders in the process. Align TPM initiatives with overarching business goals to ensure they're seen as crucial to the company's success, not just an additional task.
An organization may also struggle to measure TPM success due to the varied nature of its benefits— ranging from tangible cost savings to intangible culture shifts. However, a robust set of metrics covering equipment effectiveness, resource utilization, health and safety, etc., could effectively quantify TPM impact. Leveraging Digital Transformation for these measures could enhance reliability, accuracy and timeliness of data, facilitating better decision making and Performance Management.
As the global business environment continues to become more complex and competitive, TPM provides a key lever for companies to unlock efficiencies and drive Operational Excellence. Embedding TPM into a company's culture delivers an effective competitive advantage— one that ensures equipment reliability, improved safety, better product quality, and a more engaged and empowered workforce.
So, embrace Total Productive Maintenance and drive your business towards a more efficient, productive, and competitive future. After all, as Jennifer Morgan, former Co-CEO of SAP, once said, "In a rapidly changing environment, change itself becomes the norm. The last thing any business can afford to do is stand still."
