TPM Excellence Programme

Most organisations include time in their production plans for asset care windows that involve operators in cleaning, lubrication, inspection, and tightening activities.

However, traditionally, this work is not given the same level of importance as tasks that directly impact on output due to:

A lack of understanding of how some work routines can accelerate wear and increase the likelihood of downtime from possible to likely,
A lack of knowledge regarding how to specify and implement simple, operator-led tasks that ensure zero breakdowns,
Too much emphasis on current output, resulting in short-term fixes being prioritised over lasting solutions.

The unintended outcomes of these knowledge and skill gaps is a disconnect between improvement potential and actual practice—leading to hidden losses and wastes which undermine equipment performance and daily output. Over time, as condition deteriorates, reliability follows a downward spiral that is hard to recover from

Early Equipment Management

Delivering Flawless Operation From Day One

Organisations implementing EEM have realised significant financial and operational benefits:

Up to 30% capital cost through enhanced project added value.
Up to 50% lower operational life cycle costs, enhancing long-term profitability.
In at least one case this resulted in 100% ROI within the first year for some businesses—far surpassing conventional 15% forecast returns.
Enhanced internal capabilities, leading to faster, lower-effort project execution in subsequent initiatives.

Planning The Plan

For meaningful and lasting improvements, manufacturing organisations must align priorities across all levels—from strategic leadership to frontline operations—ensuring that:

Senior management has a clear line of sight on how shop floor improvements drive long-term business success.
Frontline managers can balance daily output pressures with structured improvement activities as part of routine operations.
Frontline personnel actively contribute to performance improvements by systematically addressing unplanned events and inefficiencies.

The key to achieving this alignment are Plan the Plan sessions. Find out more

Maintaining Momentum

One of the most common reasons why improvement gains are not sustained is a lack of joined up Performance Management Processes. The missing link means that once the short term pain of immediate failures has been dealt with, the performance management radar shifts attention towards a fresh issue.

In contrast, successful organisations adopt a joined up approach to systematic improvement as part of their Performance Management Process. That means investing time to improve processes that are already working to expose and deal with deeper, systemic issues that hinder improvement.
