Answer 1

One of the type of lean manufacturing is total productivity maintenance

TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE (TPM)
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a system of maintaining and improving the integrity of
production and quality systems. This is done through the machines, equipment, processes, and
employees that add to the value in Business Organisation. This concept was first introduced by M/s
Nippon Denso Co. Ltd. of Japan, a supplier of M/s Toyota Motor Company.
TPM helps in keeping all equipment in top working condition so as to avoid breakdowns and delays
in manufacturing processes.
How TPM can be introduced in the organization?
The introduction of TPM follows four main phases:
 Preparation Stage: Establish a suitable environment and conducting programme awareness.
 Introduction Stage: Initialization of TPM, information to suppliers, customers, and other
stakeholders.
 Implementation Stage: This is done with the help of eight activities referred as eight pillars of
TPM.
 Institutionalizing stage: This is the stage of getting TPM awards.
