Officially born in Japan in 1971, TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) is an evolution of methods of maintenance, especially U.S., attempting to improve the performance of equipment in a proactive and staff involvement Today the approach has grown from maintenance to production and management in general, the ultimate goal of improving economic performance of the company.
TPM has 8 pillars :
Pillar 1 : Self-management equipment
Pillar 2 : Improving on a case by case basis
Pillar 3 : Maintenance planned
Pillar 4 : Improving skills
Pillar 5 : Safety, working conditions and environment
Pillar 6 : Quality control
Pillar 7 : Master of design
Pillar 8 : TPM in offices
The TPM Factory software has been designed to facilitate TPM implementation and to follow-up its evolution.

Evolutive and customizable
To implement and monitor the TPM, the TPM Factory software includes several tools:
The cards : for handling technical breakdowns and defects
When an operator detects an anomaly, he makes a card that he places on the machine at the precise point of the problem. The anomaly is then processed either by manufacture or by maintenance and is finally fixed. The card allows an immediate visualization of the type of anomaly detected and the responsibility of its treatment. Indeed, there are two main types :
The purpose is to locate, identify and locate faults on equipment in order to correct them.
1. The improvement cards (yellow card) are used to improve formalize a request for improvement to its realization.
2. The standard is a formal check-list inspection actions to achieve.The objective is to define and set up inspections to prevent deterioration of the equipment in accordance with the basic conditions for a quick and easy visual inspection. We need to define the security conditions, delimit the areas concerned, to specify the tools to use, the inspection frequency with the duration of operations and who does what.
3. The lessons are an ad hoc communication simple and fast to develop the knowledge and technical know-how.The objective is its depth of knowledge and skills to act at the right time and quickly. It is also to improve the level of the entire group, each person trained to become trainer.
