Eliminating machine downtime and unscheduled maintenance is one of the most important tasks for busy printers. Ever increasing pressure on deadlines means that there is never a good time for a breakdown on any of your key equipment and yet essential maintenance is often squeezed by production pressures.
Teaching your operators how to practice TPM will raise uptime for your presses and equipment, improve the quality of your products and services and enhance your operators' skills, value and craftsmanship. Since you will make less engineer callouts, you will also benefit from cost savings.
THE BENEFITS:
- Reduced downtime
- In control of your machine availability
- Boosted operator motivation and productivity by being operator-led
- Underscore the importance of maintenance to all employees
- Enhanced skills and knowledge throughout your staff
- Reduced burden on expensive engineering resource
- Increased competitiveness by reducing the cost of doing business
- Maximised savings and boosted profits
We teach a team of your key staff (both operational & engineering) to conduct TPM. This helps the team gain an understanding of the importance of preventive maintenance and Asset Care Systems. Introducing compliance measures shows the team how sustainable improvements are, ensuring buy-in and accountability for maintenance tasks going forward.
Our approach teaches your operators how to undertake preventive maintenance of even the most complex pieces of kit so that downtime is minimised and service levels are maintained. A TPM Clean, Inspect, Lubricate' regime could minimize 75% of all your machine breakdown.
