“Today, machine availability is critical for the linearized, Pull System manufacturing operation. The investment in equipment is worth millions of dollars and TPM is the lifeline”

Continuous Improvement can not be successful without an integrated proactive approach to TPM. It is essential if a manufacturing operation is to achieve equipment availability targets needed for an effective Pull System.

Maintenance used to be treated as a second class citizen - it was like life insurance, but nobody wanted to pay the premiums.
