Lean Equipment
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) |
| Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) helps to create a Lean company by providing a structure in which activities-based teams drastically reduce equipment breakdowns, defects and other losses related to equipment. The result is an environment where people and machines are able to offer customers exactly what they want when they want. |
| The TPM goals are Zero Equipment Failure, Zero Accidents and Zero Defects: performance, safety and quality. TPM team approach brings together production, maintenance and engineering knowledge to ensure reliability, maintainability and high performance. TPM prepares operators to take care for their equipment independently of the maintenance personnel, accumulating skills for more specialized activities such as preventive maintenance, predictive programs and planning and designing new equipment. |
| The Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Pillars: • Autonomous Maintenance • Focused Improvements • Planned Maintenance • Technical Training • Quality Maintenance • Early Equipment Management • Environmental and Safety Management • Office TPM |
| EXEGENS® offers TPM training and implementation services, as part of consulting services. Our consultants will focus your entire workforce to eliminate waste at all levels of operations, with particular attention to equipment maintenance and reliability problems. |
| Providing opportunities for maintenance process innovation at every stage of your operations, the EXEGENS® TPM training focuses on progressive maintenance techniques, which are coordinated by ”end-to-end” strategies and ensure maximum productivity.

Early Equipment Management |
| Early Equipment Management (EEM) is a structured process that focuses on reducing the complexity often associated with operation and maintenance of equipment. One of the eight pillars of Total Productive Maintenance, EEM brings Lean principles to equipment design and manufacture. |
| Early Equipment Management Strategy consists of three components: • Design for Quality Assurance • Design for Maintainability • Life Cycle Costing |
| Working in tandem, these strategies provide organizations a powerful program to create the ideal equipment for their production environment - equipment that is easy to use, easy to maintain and "tailored" to help determine the correct flow. |
Reliability Assessment |
| Reliability Assessment is a process of gathering detailed data and information to show and to identify major equipment conditions and key culture issues affecting the productivity of the organization. |
| In collaboration with maintenance and production staff, EXEGENS® consultants will conduct an objective assessment of the equipment reliability, providing a clear understanding of the current status, along with recommended improvement opportunities, cost/ benefit improving analysis, an action plan and and the timing to execute the plan. |
| Based on your desired outcome, EXEGENS® can tailor the assessments to be synthetic or detail oriented - as you need. |
