Program Overview
This expert-led program helps plant, production, and maintenance leaders implement Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) practices tailored for textile machinery. Moving beyond basic maintenance, the session focuses on how TPM can significantly improve equipment reliability, operator ownership, quality control, and uptime. Participants explore the 8 TPM pillars, diagnose real-world loss patterns, and apply tools like OEE, autonomous maintenance, and focused improvement. Through textile-specific case studies and simulation exercises, the course equips teams to launch or refine TPM programs and embed a culture of machine ownership and continuous improvement.
