Course Overview

The Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) & Equipment Effectiveness Training Course concentrates on measuring and improving how effectively equipment performs. Participants learn to calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness from its availability, performance, and quality components, establish performance baselines, identify and prioritize the major equipment losses, including unplanned downtime, recurring failures, speed losses, quality losses, and setup and changeover time, and apply focused improvement, failure analysis, and TPM practices to reduce those losses and sustain the gains. Equipment effectiveness is a critical component of operational performance because unplanned downtime, equipment failures, speed losses, quality problems, and inefficient maintenance practices can significantly affect productivity, operating costs, delivery performance, and asset utilization. This training course provides practical methods for identifying equipment losses, measuring performance, analyzing causes, and implementing improvement initiatives that support more stable and reliable operations. The program covers the core principles of Total Productive Maintenance, Overall Equipment Effectiveness, autonomous maintenance, planned maintenance, focused improvement, equipment failure analysis, loss elimination, changeover improvement, maintenance performance indicators, and continuous improvement. Participants will learn how to use operational and maintenance data to identify priorities and develop more proactive approaches to equipment management. The Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) & Equipment Effectiveness Training Course is suitable for manufacturing organizations, oil and gas companies, energy and utilities organizations, petrochemical operations, logistics facilities, government entities, and large corporations that depend on reliable equipment and operational assets. The course also supports stronger collaboration between operations, maintenance, engineering, and quality teams to improve equipment performance and sustain operational excellence.
