I agree it is a foundation of lean. They have done well with it so far.Mike Wroblewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03451872136821100772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711894.post-46242170082339195032010-10-14T19:30:44.909-04:002010-10-14T19:30:44.909-04:00It appears you have been spending a lot of time de...It appears you have been spending a lot of time developing TPM systems recently, Mike. That's a good thing. As the example you gave shows, TPM is a powerful tool to not only improve equipment reliability, but to involve people in transforming their work. People who become familiar with TPM are much, much more responsive to and involved with future improvements. TPM is truly a tool for laying a strong lean foundation.Mike Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09510642077813476873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711894.post-79683272400802603382010-10-08T13:15:26.978-04:002010-10-08T13:15:26.978-04:00Hi Dan,

Although I usually talk about going through all the papers/reports/debris on your desk as a 5S exercise (rather than TPM), the purpose is similar: to reveal any hidden issues that might create real problems down the line. Whatever you call it, the exercise of really looking deeply into your tools has the potential to improve quality and performance.Dan Markovitzhttp://www.timebackmanagement.comnoreply@blogger.com
