Many enterprises have introduced and applied Six Sigma & TPM.
Six Sigma is considered the primier methodology through project for improving buisness performance.And TPM is described as “Productive Maintenance” carried out by all employees through small group activities to improve productivity. However, little has been written to date on the application of Six Sigma to plant maintenance.
The term “Total Productive Maintenance” was first used in the late 1960’s by Nippondenso, a supplier of electrical parts to Toyota. At the Time it was a slogan for their plant improvement theme “Productivity Maintenance with total employee participation”. In 1971, and received the The PM Prize from JIPM. Nippondenso was the first plant to receive the award as a result of implementing TPM.
Six Sigma quality initiatives have been popular since being introduced by Motorola in the 1980s and embraced by General Electric in the 1990s. Texts and papers abound on the “What is & How to” of Six Sigma, and training & certification courses are plentiful. However, much of the focus of Six Sigma to date has been on improving the efficiency and cost effectiveness of overall supply chain. Little attention has been paid to the maintenance process.
This paper will provide an overview of Six Sigma methodolgy, as well as TPM methods, and show how Six Sigma methods can be used to optimize and improve maintenance processes. And utilizes the five steps methodolgy to describe and detail the Six Sigma method as applied to maintenance mangement. The five steps are are DMAIC - Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control.
