Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) refers to a maintenance technique that focuses on equipment and people to achieve zero losses and improve productivity in all company functions. Reducing losses related to equipment and people improves product quality, production efficiency, workplace safety, energy savings etc., leading to significantly improved employee morale and customer experience.
