Chapter 4 of TPM Instructor Course.
The effects of much conventional improvement activity used to be transitory, and there was a strong tendency for improvements not to be capable of being sustained or properly established. In TPM, by contrast, activities are organized to ensure that the benefits of Focused Improvements are upheld.
This chapter will review the program of activities designed to foster the ability to improve while delivering tangible financial benefits. Its aim is to greater production efficiency, and its main thrust is dramatically increasing productivity by eliminating the 16 Big Losses.
