Your Instructor: Ken Rizzo

This webinar concentrates on Total Production Maintenance, a critical component to Lean Manufacturing. TPM essentially aims to prevent any kind of productivity deterioration through a focused system of optimizing and maintaining equipment and increasing operator involvement. It is far more than a simple maintenance program. We’ll discuss precisely what TPM is and how it can be implemented to help printers shrink downtime and reduce production costs.

While it’s accepted that maintenance should be scheduled, production managers are often reluctant to give up the time. Why not avoid the conflict by learning how to use TPM to substantially reduce the time it takes—by up to 60%—to effectively perform weekly and monthly preventive maintenance?

You Will Learn:
* The Six Big Machine losses and how they occur
* The principles of TPM
* Tracking performance through Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
* Why TPM is an empowering philosophy among operators
* Autonomous Maintenance
* Equipment Critical Cares
* Kaizen Blitz to Effective Preventive Maintenance
