About the Course
Organizations invest in TPM when they need results they can prove on the shop floor: fewer breakdowns, shorter changeovers, stronger basic conditions, and better OEE. That means you must demonstrate skills in OEE calculation, loss analysis, Autonomous Maintenance, Planned Maintenance, center lining, and root cause failure analysis, all within a disciplined improvement system grounded in the TPM pillars and the logic of equipment reliability. This course gives you a practical way to show that you can reduce chronic losses and stabilize production under real maintenance constraints.
The course turns scattered maintenance knowledge into a structured TPM system you can apply in plants, process lines, and asset-intensive operations. You will develop capabilities in OEE loss mapping, 5S for equipment care, visual management standards, RCFA, PM optimization, condition-based maintenance planning, digital inspection workflows, and TPM deployment planning. In practical terms, you will learn how to assess current equipment loss patterns, build autonomous maintenance routines, design maintenance plans, and create a rollout roadmap that operations and maintenance can both use. You will practice these methods through workshops and applied exercises, while areas such as predictive maintenance analytics and digital CMMS workflows will be introduced at an operational level rather than treated as full engineering implementation.
TPM also has to work under budget pressure, aging assets, limited technician capacity, and competing production targets. This course is designed for professionals who must improve reliability without disrupting throughput, and it shows you how to prioritize high-impact equipment, standardize inspection routines, and report progress with credible maintenance metrics and improvement actions.
Target Audience
This course is designed for professionals who influence equipment reliability, maintenance execution, and production continuity in asset-intensive operations.
- Maintenance Managers responsible for TPM deployment and maintenance loss reduction.
- Reliability Engineers analyzing OEE losses and chronic equipment failure patterns.
- Production Supervisors coordinating Autonomous Maintenance on the shop floor.
- Plant Engineers improving maintainability, center lining, and basic equipment conditions.
- Operations Managers balancing throughput, downtime, and maintenance priorities.
- Condition Monitoring Specialists using vibration and inspection data for early fault detection.
- Maintenance Planners and Schedulers optimizing PM work orders and shutdown windows.
- Quality Engineers linking equipment performance to defect reduction and process stability.
- Continuous Improvement Leaders embedding TPM pillars into improvement routines.
- Asset Integrity Coordinators tracking maintenance actions, standards, and escalation logs.
Course Objectives
This course equips you to plan, execute, and measure Total Productive Maintenance initiatives that improve OEE, strengthen compliance with maintenance standards, and support sustainable reliability gains.
- Assess current equipment losses using OEE, Pareto analysis, and TPM pillar diagnostics.
- Apply Autonomous Maintenance practices to standardize cleaning, inspection, lubrication, and tagging routines.
- Design a Planned Maintenance strategy using CMMS work orders, PM intervals, and criticality ranking.
- Build an operator-driven visual management system with center lining, tags, and inspection checklists.
- Evaluate maintenance performance against MTBF, MTTR, OEE, and RCFA findings.
- Navigate cross-functional TPM requirements across operations, maintenance, quality, and safety workflows.
- Implement digital inspection and maintenance data workflows to track recurring failure patterns.
- Synthesize TPM findings into a deployment roadmap, dashboard, and executive reporting pack.
Requirements & Prerequisites
Participants should have experience in manufacturing, utilities, process operations, or asset-intensive environments, along with a working knowledge of equipment performance, maintenance routines, and production loss drivers. Familiarity with OEE, preventive maintenance, and basic root cause analysis will help you move faster, but the course is designed to build TPM capability from operational practice rather than advanced engineering theory. A laptop is recommended for working on templates, dashboards, and action plans. No coding is required. Advanced topics such as predictive maintenance analytics and digital CMMS workflows are covered at an operational level.
