TPM (MANUTENÇÃO PRODUTIVA TOTAL): conceitos e etapas para implantação

Abstract

This document presents the machinery and equipment management system called TPM (Total Productive Maintenance). This system aims to improve the work environment, productivity, quality, equipment efficiency, employee motivation and mainly the reduction of costs in the production processes, through the creative participation of all, being a process that aims at continuous improvement. The implementation of total productive maintenance is rigid in the sense of always looking for the "benchmark" (reference of excellence), where it seeks to measure and correct all losses resulting from inefficient equipment, processes and organizations. The objective of this work is to show how the TPM can contribute to the results of a company, presenting its main characteristics, advantages and stages.
