ABSTRACT

The TPM strategy includes zero defects, zero accidents, and zero breakdowns, as shown in Figure 5.1.

There are different types of maintenance involved with TPM, which will be described in detail below:

1. Breakdown maintenance 2. Preventive maintenance a. Periodic maintenance b. Predictive maintenance 3. Corrective maintenance 4. Maintenance prevention

Breakdown maintenance: You wait until the machine completely fails, and then you repair it to working order. Usually this type of maintenance is assigned to machines with backups in place, or machines that are of low importance to production.
