Process Optimization

TPM - Total Productive Maintenance - Make yourself successful by eliminating loss and waste within processes.

Benefits of TPM:

TPM is a program to continuously improve all divisions of a company. The key action is to answer two questions: where are the losses and where is the waste? The reduction of "muda" (i.e. "waste" in Japanese) achieves the overall goals of zero defects, zero failure, zero quality losses, zero accidents, etc.

This method is based upon the "eight columns of TPM" that symbolize the measures used to optimize an organization's productive and administrative processes. Productivity, delivery, and safety are some of the key performance factors employed to control the outcome.
