SANTA MONICA, CA, USA, August 30, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TPM strategies were developed in Japan over 50 years ago with the purpose of continuous improvement of equipment effectiveness. Many operations have adopted this philosophy and now require a system to aid in managing it. That is where a CMMS can help. We’re going to go over the 8 pillars of TPM and how a CMMS can help.

Pillar 1: Autonomous Maintenance

Assigning the best resource to the task will allow your team to focus on areas that are best use of their skills.
How a CMMS Provides Assistance
Identifies the required skills and can assign the right resource.

Pillar 2: Focused Improvement

Relates to continuous improvement of processes increasing efficiency.
How a CMMS Provides Assistance
Use historical data to analyze assets and gain insight on breakdowns. Use this information to make asset modifications.

Pillar 3: Planned Maintenance

A strong proactive maintenance strategy includes identifying the cause of the failure, resolving issues before failure and increasing the life span of the equipment while reducing downtime.
How a CMMS Provides Assistance
Track trends and access real-time data to increase efficiency, decrease labor costs and decrease downtime.

Pillar 4: Quality Management

Ensuring quality standards is imperative to the functioning of the equipment and the final product.
How a CMMS Provides Assistance
Combining scheduled inspections supported by a predictive maintenance strategy. Find the problem before it's a problem.

Pillar 5: Equipment Management

This is the process of analyzing common equipment failures and sharing them both internally and externally.
How a CMMS Provides Assistance
The historical data allows for review of breakdowns, their causes and repairs.

Pillar 6: Education & Training

Lack of knowledge and training can hurt the whole team, but it can be hard to manage.
How a CMMS Provides Assistance
Verifications and required training can be tracked in the system and can notify the appropriate person in advance when it's expiring or required.

Pillar 7: Administrative & Office

Administratively heavy system can increase expenses and decrease efficiency.
How a CMMS Provides Assistance
Bridge the gap between the office and the maintenance team by streamlining communication and knowledge sharing.

Pillar 8: Safety Health Environmental Conditions

An efficient operation needs to also be safe. This pillar surrounds including regular safety inspections in the preventative maintenance plan and helps to adhere to applicable safety regulations.
How a CMMS Provides Assistance
A CMMS can store information such as safety checklists, safety data sheets and inspection procedures. It can also provide documentation to demonstrate the requirements have been followed.
