How to Implement TPM

Implementing TPM in a workshop setting can be a challenge, but it is well worth the effort. The following steps provide a roadmap for successful TPM implementation:

Establish a TPM steering committee. The steering committee will be responsible for overseeing the TPM implementation process.
Develop a TPM plan. The TPM plan should outline the goals of the TPM program, the responsibilities of each team member, and the schedule for implementation.
Train employees on TPM. All employees who will be involved in TPM need to be trained on the basics of TPM.
Implement TPM pilot projects. Pilot projects can help to test the TPM process and identify areas for improvement.
Expand TPM to the entire workshop. Once the TPM pilot projects have been successful, TPM can be expanded to the entire workshop.
