Energy Conservation and Cost Reduction Through Total Productive Maintenance, 2005 Engineering, Pulping & Environmental Conference
The Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) concept focuses on reducing costs in an absolute sense by changing the mindset, attitude and direction by looking at every aspect of the production process. It equips the company to aim for zero breakdowns, no downtime, zero quality defects and zero accidents. Within a span of three years after initiating a TPM program at Century Pulp and Paper, significant gains have resulted in terms of overall operational efficiency, product quality and equipment maintenance. Ownership of the equipments and high morale are the other distinct benefits. The paper outlines the TPM concepts, and philosophy, deployment of TPM at the mills and benefits derived.
