One of the main objectives of TPM – Total Productive Maintenance – is to create a shared responsibility for equipment by empowering operators to help maintain machines.
As with many other maintenance strategies, TPM strives to achieve a continuous production cycle without any breakdowns by maintaining and improving the integrity of production and quality systems.
How can deploying CMMS software allow companies to implement a TPM strategy? To what extent is such a strategy (once coupled with a CMMS tool) essential to perform predictive maintenance?
2. FIRST, WHAT IS TPM?
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) strives to
achieve a continuous production cycle without any
breakdowns by maintaining and improving the integrity
of production and quality systems.
TPM relies on the 5S technique, which results in a
clean and well-organized work environment where
emerging issues can be immediately detected.
3. It aims to create a shared responsibility for equipment by
empowering operators and it allows:
BENEFITS FROM ADOPTING TPM BEST
PRACTICES
Cost savings
Optimized working schedule
More efficient workforce
Safer and cleaner workplace
Equipment reliability
Minimized delays, breakdowns,
production stops
4. ACHIEVE PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
THANKS TO YOUR CMMS
A next-gen Computerized Maintenance Management System
(CMMS) streamlines your daily maintenance routines, in line with
the TPM principles:
preventive maintenance plans, monitoring, and maintenance
history are stored and accessible anytime and anywhere from
any smart device through your CMMS mobile app
anomalies can be easily identified and addressed via the
notifications sent to the assigned team: problems get solved
before turning into real failures
5. A NEXT-GEN CMMS…
…provides a detailed comparison of
historical factors affecting equipment
performance, allowing managers to
recommend actions to improve
maintenance strategy for certain
pieces of equipment
…collects, stores and analyzes all possible company data
from ERPs, sensors, and inventories (including data, history
and trends)
…eases the participation of each employee involved in the
daily maintenance routines
6. HOW IS IT LINKED TO PREDICTIVE
MAINTENANCE?
Predictive maintenance aims to use every means (embedded
software, remote technologies) to monitor equipment
performance. Only a next-gen CMMS can fit into this concept and
deliver the desired results.
It predicts when equipment failure might occur based on
condition-monitoring data
It generates algorithms based on the data provided by diverse
condition-monitoring tools
It monitors the condition and performance of equipment during
normal operation, reducing disruption of everyday operations
7. Minimized time for equipment
maintenance; maintenance is performed
only when an asset requires it
Minimized production hours loss due to
maintenance, since it is performed while
equipment is running
Minimized spare parts cost
CONCRETE BENEFITS OF PREDICTIVE
MAINTENANCE
8. TO SUM UP:
1. TPM is all about empowering maintenance technicians and
operators, allowing them to maintain equipment as soon as it’s
needed
2. To meet this requirement, next-gen CMMS like Mobility Work are
community-based: communication becomes central (solution
provided with a timeline, a calendar, an analytic tool, notification
alerts…)
3. A TPM strategy coupled with a CMMS allow to implement
predictive maintenance routines: breakdowns are avoided as
technicians are able to identify any dysfunction as soon as it’s
detected and showed (thanks to connected sensors) in the CMMS’s
analytic tool
9. MOBILITY WORK, NEXT-GEN CMMS
Mobility Work CMMS
is provided with an
analytic tool to help
you analyze your
maintenance data and
adapt your strategy
10. MOBILITY WORK, A COMMUNITY-
BASED CMMS (1)
Mobility Work is a next-gen CMMS offering a
simple, but extremely powerful analytic tool
It is a versatile solution that can easily
adapt to any company’s size or industrial
background
It is your right partner to establish and sustain
an effective predictive maintenance program
11. MOBILITY WORK, A COMMUNITY-
BASED CMMS (2)
The analytic tool analyzes condition-monitoring data,
allowing users to define boundaries of acceptable values for
assets and generating work orders when necessary
The CMMS analyzes all the data available to produce
reliable trends and contribute to the asset life cycle
analysis
The software can predict when an asset will require
maintenance or replacement
