Merging the benefits of two well-known methodologies, lean thinking and total productive maintenance (TPM), Lean TPM provides an accessible, step-by-step guide to increased manufacturing efficiency. Based on their experience of working with organizations that have successfully achieved outstanding performance, McCarthy and Rich provide the tools and techniques to convert strategic vision into practical reality. Packed with real-life case studies and examples to highlight common pitfalls and proven approaches, the book focuses on the continuous improvement that can be achieved within any manufacturing environment by challenging wasteful working practices, releasing the potential of the workforce, and making processes work as planned. Lean TPM provides an integrated route map and comprehensive benchmark data for engineers, technicians and managers to fully explore this potent technique.
