TPM/Equipment Reliability Consulting

Productivity’s consultants have been helping organizations implement TPM for over thirty years. We are uniquely positioned to help your program get and stay on track. From awareness sessions, culture and team building to equipment centered improvement processes, Productivity can assist you in the planning, deployment and assessment of your on-going TPM implementation.

Strategic Planning

To be successful, it is critical that your TPM/equipment reliability program align with your organization’s overall strategic objectives. To ensure this is the case, Productivity’s consultants will work with management and maintenance improvement teams to review your existing TPM plan, targets-to-improve, and milestones, or help you to create a new, more robust plan that directly supports organizational objectives.

TPM Action Planning

This two day planning session provides an opportunity to discuss the basic concepts of TPM, learn the eight pillars of implementation, share implementation perspectives, and develop a common terminology. Working with your maintenance improvement team, Productivity will facilitate a discussion of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), and other equipment/process related metrics. Then, facilitated by Productivity, your maintenance improvement team will use our TPM Action Planning Guide to perform a self-assessment; define key issues; determine remedial actions; establish cost/benefit relationships; define roles; assign responsibilities; and milestone initial activities to be completed within a specific timeframe. The outcome is the creation of a TPM Implementation Road Map detailing next step activities.

Leadership

The overall success of your TPM initiative depends on your leadership and your ability to lead the change process. Prior to joining Productivity, our consultants were all successful leaders within industry. As a result, they have first-hand experience in what it takes to lead the change process, ensure sustainability, and create a culture of continuous improvement throughout your facility. Our consultants will work one-on-one with keys leaders in your organization to guide and mentor them in the cultural and technical decision making processes of TPM implementation.

Coordinator Coaching

The experts will say that a key person in the organizational structure for TPM implementation is the TPM Coordinator or Champion. But very little is said about the roles and responsibilities of this individual. This coaching session is directed at that individual who has been tasked with implementing TPM. In this session your TPM Coordinator will learn techniques to help communicate the TPM plan, overcome resistance to change, plus gain and sustain support for the initiative.

Supervisor Coaching

Supervisors play a critical role in a TPM transformation. They are critical links between management hierarchy and the people out in the work place. Supervisors can bridge the gap between the current and desired culture. Yet despite these complex expectations, most organizations give supervisors limited attention. In this interactive coaching session, supervisors will learn ten critical performance factors that are necessary to support the change process and enhance organizational culture change.
