Breakdowns and processing defects translate into excess work-in-process and finished inventory, kept on hand \"just in case.\" Recurring minor stoppages force employees to watch automated equipment that should run by itself. TPM gives a framework for addressing such problems, but many companies implement TPM at a superficial level, and the resulting productivity gains fall short of their potential. If your TPM implementation has resulted in posters and logos rather than a rise of productivity, how are you addressing this halt of progress? In \u003ci\u003eTPM for the Lean Factory\u003c\/i\u003e, authors Sekine and Arai teach you to identify and attack the key equipment-related problems and misunderstandings that make plants miss their lean manufacturing goals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for companies with a basic TPM framework already in place, you'll learn three powerful approaches for cutting this waste: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe new 5Ss: focusing on standard locations and labeling through the first 2Ss\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstant maintenance: mastering quick repairs of minor equipment failures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImproved setup operations: organizing the preparation to save time and prevent errors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters on cell design, product and process quality factor testing, and daily equipment inspection give you additional weapons for fighting waste and low productivity.
