TPM Fundamentals: This unit covers the basic principles of Total Productive Maintenance, including the definition, benefits, and key concepts of TPM. It also introduces the TPM philosophy, which emphasizes employee involvement and continuous improvement. •
Root Cause Analysis (RCA): This unit teaches students how to identify and analyze the underlying causes of equipment failures, using techniques such as 5 Whys and Fishbone diagrams. It is an essential skill for TPM practitioners, as it enables them to develop effective preventive maintenance strategies. •
Predictive Maintenance (PdM): This unit covers the principles and techniques of predictive maintenance, including vibration analysis, thermography, and oil analysis. It also introduces condition-based maintenance (CBM) and the use of data analytics in maintenance decision-making. •
Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM): This unit focuses on the RCM methodology, which involves a structured approach to identifying and prioritizing maintenance tasks based on their impact on system reliability. It is a key concept in TPM, as it enables organizations to optimize their maintenance strategies and reduce downtime. •
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Implementation: This unit provides guidance on implementing TPM in a manufacturing organization, including the development of a TPM strategy, the identification of key performance indicators (KPIs), and the establishment of a TPM team. •
Maintenance Performance Metrics: This unit covers the importance of measuring maintenance performance, including the use of KPIs such as mean time to repair (MTTR), mean time between failures (MTBF), and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). It also introduces the use of data analytics in maintenance decision-making. •
TPM and Lean Manufacturing: This unit explores the relationship between TPM and lean manufacturing, including the use of TPM principles in lean initiatives such as kaizen and six sigma. It also introduces the concept of "total productive maintenance" in a lean context. •
Maintenance Work Order Management: This unit focuses on the management of maintenance work orders, including the use of work order systems, the assignment of work orders to maintenance personnel, and the tracking of work order status. •
TPM and Supply Chain Management: This unit covers the importance of TPM in supply chain management, including the use of TPM principles in supplier selection, vendor management, and logistics. It also introduces the concept of "total productive maintenance" in a supply chain context. •
TPM and Employee Engagement: This unit explores the role of employee engagement in TPM, including the use of TPM principles in employee training, motivation, and empowerment. It also introduces the concept of "total productive maintenance" in a human resources context.
