FAQs

The audit should involve maintenance managers, production supervisors, equipment operators, reliability engineers, and representatives from quality and safety departments.

The primary purpose is to assess and improve the implementation of Total Productive Maintenance principles in manufacturing facilities, ensuring maximum equipment effectiveness and operational efficiency.

TPM audits should be conducted regularly, typically quarterly or semi-annually, to maintain momentum and identify areas for continuous improvement in maintenance practices.

The checklist covers the eight pillars of TPM: autonomous maintenance, planned maintenance, quality maintenance, focused improvement, early equipment management, training and education, safety and environment, and TPM in administrative departments.

By ensuring proper implementation of TPM principles, the audit helps improve equipment reliability, reduce waste, increase productivity, and ultimately lead to enhanced product quality and customer satisfaction in manufacturing operations.
