TPM - Total Productive Maintenance : New Implementation Program in Fabrication and Assembly Industries (2018) by Kunio Shirose; Seiichi Nakajima | Paperback | Tpm

About this book This book explains, in an easily understandable manner, TPM procedures as they are currently implemented in the fabrication and assmbly industries, and reflects throughout the guidance, expertise, and know-how of specialized consultants. For example, the book lists 16 major losses as factors that impede the efficiency of fabrication and assembly. With regard to specific improvements, the book explores programs for reducing seven major losses, such as "cutting blade losses," using up-to-date examples. Explanations of the eight pillars of TPM implementation, such as autonomous maintenance (Jishu-Hozen), quality maintenance, and maintenance, were modified to apply specifically to TPM for fabrication and assembly.
