TPM training presentation: the 8 pillars

Total productive maintenance (TPM) is a plant-wide way of looking after equipment in which operators, maintenance, engineering and managers all play a part, with the aim of zero breakdowns, zero defects and zero accidents. This free deck introduces it in about 30 minutes. Its 19 editable slides cover what TPM is and why it matters, the six big losses, OEE, the 8 pillars and the 5S foundation, how plants usually start, an illustrative example, the common mistakes, an activity to find the six big losses on one machine and four check questions with answers. Every slide has speaker notes.

Free to use: print it, copy it and edit it for your team. Enter your name and work email once to download.

How to run it

Running the session

  1. 1

    Prepare

    Read the speaker notes once and swap the illustrative example for one from your own area if you have it. Print the PDF if people like a handout.

  2. 2

    Present

    The slides take about 15 minutes. Every slide has notes, so you can talk from them rather than read the slide.

  3. 3

    Do the activity

    Pick one machine and last week's production data, or watch it for 15 minutes. The activity slide takes the team through it step by step; allow 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Check and follow up

    Ask the check questions before showing the answers, then agree one next step with an owner and a date before people leave.

The check questions

1. What are the three zeros TPM aims for?
Zero breakdowns, zero defects and zero accidents.
2. What are the three factors of OEE?
Availability, performance and quality.
3. Which pillar has operators clean, inspect, lubricate and tighten?
Autonomous maintenance.
4. Why is 5S the foundation of TPM?
Dirt and clutter hide abnormal conditions; a clean, organized area makes them visible.
