Introduction:
The first four pillars of TPM tackles the maintenance of existing equipment, a more advanced approach of TPM is to plan for maintenance and its corresponding maintenance costs at the early stages of planning for equipment acquisition. Early Equipment Maintenance, less urgent and less popular doesn’t mean less important especially at times where innovation and new products and the speed to get them from marketing to supply chain is critical, EEM plays an important role of having what we call “vertical start-up” and planning effective maintenance right from the start in turn lowering unnecessary maintenance costs of getting goods in the pipeline.
Objective:
By the end of the course, delegates will:
Understand concepts and application of Total Productive Maintenance
Understand the concepts of Early Equipment Management
Know the goals and benefits of implementing EEM
Know what is Innovation Management
Know what is the design criteria for machines under development
Identify the losses due to poor machine design
Know what is the EEM system and how it works
Understand the Steps to EEM implementation
Who must attend?
A top executive that will sponsor the TPM initiative
Managers that will eventually form the TPM steering committee
Engineering / Equipment Manager involved in new projects who will lead the pillar
Maintenance / Engineering supervisors who will pilot the implementation
Key rank and file employees (Production team leaders, mechanics, technicians, electricians with growth potential) – possibly will be involved with the new machinery or are individuals usually involved in commissioning.
