Agilent Technologies, before Hewlett-Packard's Test and Measurement Division, operates an integrated circuit phony plant in Fort Collins, Colorado. Guided by Masaji Taijiri, the writer of 7 Steps to Autonomous Maintenance (see page 34), writer Jim Leflar and his group at Agilent grown a end TPM module for the formidable apparatus on their emporium floor. Drawn from these experiences, Practical TPM is a contingency review for any one who wants to proceed successful TPM implementation.
Part I clarifies the elemental concepts of TPM, together with the 6 simple beliefs of TPM, the goals of TPM, informative changes ensuing from TPM, and the keys to successful implementation.

Each proviso is obviously tangible and demonstrated; the operative collection and systems grown by the Agilent TPM group in the routine have been discussed at length. To conclude, Part III focuses on building a prophesy and a plot for your own successful TPM program.
Replete with annotated photographs and illustrations documenting Agilent's successful program, Practical TPM: Successful Equipment Management at Agilent Technologies offers an useful roadmap to TPM implementation.

Review by Martin L. Espinola for Practical TPM: Successful Equipment Management at Agilent Technologies
Rating:
As a Continuous Improvement Technician I am always interested in maximizing production and quality. TPM is one of the most vital tools in making continual improvements in a manufacturing process. James Leflar's book is the best resource that I've read on the practical application of TPM. It has many illustrations and thoughts that can be used by any manufacturing facility. It should be in the library of every maintenance department and be required reading for all managers.
