The more I read Suzuki's book on TPM the more I realized how little I have scratched the surface of TPM in my 16 years as a lien practitioner.

In 2022 I switched organizations and began working in a process industry. It was obvious right away that One of the biggest challenges for this company was equipment effectiveness. Although I understood how to measure OEE and mean time between breakdowns, I wasn't 100% confident on how to get there.

This book is based on how Japanese firms have used TPM as a competitive advantage, not only to improve throughput, but to improve quality and efficiency as well.

I'm a firm believer in not copying someone else's system and trying to replicate it, but Suzuki's approach provides a very straightforward road map on how to implement total productive maintenance. Although I will modify it slightly to meet my company's culture, I do plan on staying very true to the core teachings of this book.

The best book on tpm and maitainence - it is like kaizen book for lean.

our company leantpm pillars all come from here

If one brewery can do 50% of what is written in this book then it is already the best. It took our brewery years to only finish the first few steps of the AM

The TPM is well established knowledge system - but in the frontline normally there is too limited people has this kind of knowledge and practice - which leads the maitainence the most painful point to improve OEE.

Waterfall loss breakdown to prioritize is a quick win approach, implement TPM will is the fundamental lever to improve OEE.
