## 8 Pillars of Activity

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) increases productivity, efficiency, and safety by empowering operators, team leaders and managers to all play a proactive role in the day-to-day operation and maintenance of their own work areas through 8 pillars of activity.

**Pillar 1:** **Autonomous Maintenance**

Operators monitor the condition of their own equipment and work areas.

**Pillar 2: Process & Machine Improvement**

Team leaders collect information from operators and work areas then prioritize preventative maintenance and improvements.

**Pillar 3:** **Preventative Maintenance**

Preventative maintenance tasks and schedules are shared by operators and team leaders.

**Pillar 4:** **Early Management of New Equipment**

Based on maintenance reports, team leaders anticipate and plan for parts and equipment lifecycles and report to managers.

**Pillar 5:** **Process Quality Management**

Shared responsibility for operation and maintenance encourages quality improvement ideas from all work areas.

**Pillar 6:** **Administrative Work**

Managers prioritize data from the previous pillars and share outcomes with team leaders and work areas.

**Pillar 7: Education & Training**

Continuous improvement includes operator and work area education and training which improves morale, retention, and efficiency.

**Pillar 8:** **Safety & Sustained Success**

Facility-wide safety is prioritized which positively impacts sustained success of the TPM program.
