Total Preventative Maintenance (TPM) is a proactive approach to maintenance that focuses on the prevention of equipment failure and breakdowns. It is a system of regularly scheduled inspections, tests, and maintenance activities that are designed to identify and address potential problems before they occur. TPM seeks to maximize the efficiency and reliability of equipment by reducing the amount of time and money spent on repairs and replacements. The goal of TPM is to keep equipment running at its optimal level, with minimal downtime and maximum output. TPM involves a combination of preventive and predictive maintenance techniques, such as regularly scheduled inspections, tests, and maintenance activities, as well as the use of predictive analytics to identify potential problems before they occur. By taking a proactive approach to maintenance, TPM can help reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve safety.
