Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Conference

Chicago,IL November 29th, 2007
   

Conference Description:

MAXIMIZE YOUR LEAN MANUFACTURING SUCCESS!

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) focuses on maintaining equipment and production systems to promote continual performance with zero breakdowns, defects, or accidents. TPM takes all aspects of manufacturing into consideration, including employees, product development, plant layout, supply chain logistics and product delivery. Studies have determined labor and equipment to be 1.5 - 2 times more productive after TPM implementation, while process defect rates are down to 1/10th, and manufacturing costs are reduced by 30%. Overall, businesses using TPM reported 5 times greater return on investment (ROI).

This conference will help you:

·Understand the essential elements of TPM.

·Understand how TPM can:

  • Reduce your costs by enhancing your productivity.
  • Accelerate your approach to lean manufacturing.
  • Reduce product defects due to quality improvements.
  • Reduce maintenance costs.
  • Reduce equipment breakdowns.
  • Reduce product cycle times.
