How do I use HxGN EAM to implement a total productive maintenance (TPM) program?

TPM is a proactive maintenance approach that focuses on improving equipment reliability and performance. It is based on the idea that everyone in the organization, from operators to top management, is responsible for maintaining equipment.

To use HxGN EAM to implement a TPM program, you can follow these steps:

1. Assess your current maintenance practices. Use HxGN EAM to identify your equipment's failure rates, downtime trends, and maintenance costs. This information will help you prioritize your TPM efforts.

2. Develop a TPM implementation plan. This plan should outline your goals, objectives, and timeline for implementing TPM. It should also identify the resources you will need, such as training and staffing.

3. Implement the TPM pillars. HxGN EAM can support all eight pillars of TPM, including:

   • Autonomous maintenance: Operators are responsible for basic maintenance tasks, such as cleaning and inspecting equipment.
   • Planned maintenance: HxGN EAM can help you schedule and track preventive maintenance tasks.
   • Quality maintenance: HxGN EAM can help you identify and address the root causes of equipment failures.
   • Early equipment management: HxGN EAM can help you track the performance of new equipment and identify potential problems early.
   • Education and training: HxGN EAM includes training resources that can help you teach your employees about TPM.
   • Office TPM: HxGN EAM can help you implement TPM principles in your administrative functions.
   • Safety, health, and environment: HxGN EAM can help you track and manage safety, health, and environmental risks associated with equipment operation and maintenance.
   • Total productive production (TPP): HxGN EAM can help you track and measure your progress towards your TPM goals.

4. Monitor and improve your TPM program. Use HxGN EAM to track your progress and identify areas where you can improve. Make adjustments to your TPM plan as needed.

Examples of how you can use HxGN EAM to support TPM:

• Use HxGN EAM to create and schedule preventive maintenance tasks.
• Use HxGN EAM to track equipment downtime and identify the root causes of failures.
• Use HxGN EAM to manage spare parts inventory and ensure that critical parts are always available.
• Use HxGN EAM to train employees on TPM principles and procedures.
• Use HxGN EAM to track and measure your TPM progress.
