18. 1. Minimizing the Erratic Intervals of Failures
a. Restoring Uncontrolled Deterioration to a Workable Condition.
b. Elimination of Artificial Machine Deterioration, e.g. by cleaning, lubrication,
retightening & compliance to the prescribed operating condition.
19. 2. Extending the Average Life Expectancy of Equipment
a. Extending the life inherent individual equipment
b. Elimination of random failure
c. Restoring visible deterioration
20. 3. Periodic Restoration of Deterioration
Estimating life expectancy of equipment and restoring periodically
deterioration by improving the maintainability & standardizing and
implementing periodic maintenance.
21. 4. Predicting a Failure
Predicting a failure by the equipment condition diagnostic techniques.
23. Why TPM?
Now that machines and equipment are increasingly automated and
technologically advanced, it is no exaggeration to say that products are
now being made by equipment. We are, therefore, not to allow
equipment to fail in performance or to produce defects.
It is man’s duty to properly maintain equipment to keep working without
failure or generating defects.
To enable such operation, we are not to leave the maintenance service
only to activities centered around the maintenance section, but also
require the participation of all the section in charge of operation and the
related to the development of equipment and products is indispensable.
Operating personnel in particular, are required to be aware of their
responsibilities to “protect their equipment by themselves” in order to
eliminate defects and failure from their operation.
