• Overview

  Achieving the reliability needed for today's manufacturing operations is a tough challenge. Technical understanding alone is not enough, the delivery of effective asset care requires close collaboration between maintenance and production functions at all levels. Team Leader ability to manage the maintenance process is the crucial difference between success and failure...literally. This 3-day workshop provides an introduction to those who need to understand and manage and sustain production and maintenance asset care best practice. Learn how to Implement maintenance best practice in your organisation. The workshop provides an overview of the latest tools and techniques for asset management, their benefits and potential pitfalls and when and how to apply them for maximum impact on the bottom line. Organisations increasingly need to make improvement a key part of the culture in order to remain cost competitive in their operations. The same is true of Maintenance Organisations. Maintenance Departments are increasingly under pressure to improve performance and reduce costs. With equipment and systems becoming ever more complicated, fault diagnosis can become a significant issue making the task even more difficult. In addition the foundations for lasting improvement are the use of effective underpinning systems such as training, spares management, planning, data recording and analysis to support problem prioritisation and resolution.

Creating TPM Centres of Excellence

(In house training workshop)

TPM provides a practical approach to preventing the common causes of unplanned downtime by reducing accelerated wear and improving the quality of maintenance. 

This 3 day accelerator workshop provides participants with a guided tour of how to do that using live shop floor assets to identify how to raise standards, improve skills and release time for focussed improvement as part of the day to day routine.  The outcome includes a forward action plan to apply the lessons learned and establish TPM as part of your improvement programme.

• Learn how TPM principles and techniques prevent unplanned downtime and systematically improve effectiveness.
• Understand the TPM road map to zero breakdowns and no touch production.
• Know how to engage those who use and look after equipment and processes with a common goal to improve effectiveness.
• Be able to convert the lessons learned into a bespoke TPM implementation programme for your organisation.

• Overview

  The workshop begins with an introduction to TPM combining theory, exercises and case studies examples.  That develops awareness of foundation TPM principles and techniques and how they work together to provide a route map to zero breakdowns and beyond.

  Delegates then work in teams to apply those lessons to selected shop floor assets. Through this they learn how to systematically eliminate the causes of unplanned outages and develop practical tactics to deliver the full potential of the asset under review. 

  Where appropriate, this can include the use of TPM Digital toolsets such as micro planning, skill matching, dynamic scheduling and digital twin OEE glide path management.

  Practical activities are guided using a structured TPM workbook.  With the support of the course leader they use the mini projects to develop examples of each step.  That provides delegates with a set of tools that they can use to apply lessons learned to other assets after the course.

  Delegates also use the practical examples generated to learn how to design their own TPM implementation programmes.  That includes how to set and apply team based coaching standards to engage and support the development of front line teams and team leaders.

  Outputs include the creation of a practical longer term vision of what TPM can achieve, 12 month programme goals and 90 day TPM mobilisation plans.

  Participants are provided with a blank electronic copy of the workbook so that they can use it to apply the lessons learned to equipment back in the workplace. Participants are also provided with electronic copies of general awareness presentation material that they can use to raise awareness of TPM principles and techniques.

  Who should attend?

  Business leaders, TPM Champions and Facilitators and First Line Managers who want to improve the effectiveness of their operations.

  The course is also of value to Project Managers who have responsibility for delivering company-wide improvement programmes or operational capital projects

  Course Content

  Morning Day one,

  Following an introduction to TPM basics, participants work in teams to identify potential improvement opportunities on live projects using TPM mapping and criticality assessment techniques.

  This helps participants to understand how to structure an equipment review, how to assess current standards and working practices and how to use the power of a practical OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) measure to assess the value of improvement potential, set realistic and achievable improvement targets and identify practical improvement tactics to deliver that potential.

  Afternoon Day One and Day Two

  Participants continue to work in teams on mini projects where they carry out a condition appraisal and develop best practices for Asset Care, Planned Maintenance and Correct Operation.

  They also gain an understanding of how these activities can deliver the challenging but achievable TPM goal of zero breakdowns. From this the programme progresses to the use of Focussed Improvement as a trigger for innovation and problem prevention.

  During these activities teams are guided through the selection and application of relevant focussed improvement tools covering problem observation, analysis and solution development.

  This includes

  • the development of  Workplace Organisation, and Visual Management standards to aid standardisation, skill development and problem precention. 
  • 5 Why and stoppage analysis routines to support progress towards zero breakdowns. 
  • P-M Analysis to support progress towards process optimisation and zero defect goals. 

  Day three

  Participants feedback their respective project improvements and action plans to each other. In this way, participants gain a first-hand insight into the application of TPM toolset for up to 3 pieces of equipment.
  The final session during day 3 covers the TPM master plan milestones, behavioural benchmarks and underpinning TPM systems.

  During this session participants are guided through the completion of a TPM audit to assess the status of their organisation. This helps them to identify areas of good practice and priorities for action. There will also be plenty of opportunity to discuss specific implementation issues and develop personal action plans to implement the lessons learned back at the workplace

This workshop is designed to help participants to assure compliance in a way that not only prevent "accidents" but also refines ways of working so that they are easy to do right and difficult to do wrong. In turn this reduces the cost of compliance as well as improving level of added value. For everyone who wants to create and sustain a proactive safety function, that stays in control and avoids the risks of own goals.

Learn from the practices of best in class organisations who are able to manage safety, health & environmental compliance processes in a way that assures compliance but also drives out wasteful procedures, improves customer value and increases profits. These are organisations that have found out how to avoid difficult choices such as safety or production – they achieve both! Their cross functional risk based approach means that they are able to meet their legal and moral obligations without presenting a barrier to learning and improvement.

They are able to avoid the pitfalls of compliance systems which become overly bureaucratic and seem to foster the creation of petty restrictive practices.

• Overview

  This course will introduce the features of a safety, heath and environmental management system which will deliver excellence. An auditing methodology framework will be discussed.

  Topics Covered

  • Understanding safety, health & environmental risks
  • Basic safety questions
  • Setting compliance standards
  • Protection, procedures and behaviours
  • Assessment of safety, health and environmental systems
  • Improving the safety, health & environmental system performance
  • Legal obligations
  • Learning from experience and prevention
  • International safety rating scheme
  • Ways of working and standards
  • Behaviours/outlook
  • Underpinning systems
  • Identifying risks, system gaps and wasted effort
  • Defining improvement priorities and tactics
  • Cross functional accountabilities
  • Measuring safety performance
  • Organising the compliance function
  • Assuring standards
  • Improving compliance systems performance (value and cost)

  Who should attend?

  The course provides managers, leaders and change agents with a structured framework to reinforce compliance behaviours, refine underpinning systems and at the same time improve productivity and safety performance. It will also benefit recently or soon to be appointed managers, engineers, supervisors and technicians whose role includes assuring the safety of others.
