P‑M Analy­sis is a tech­nique for address­ing chron­ic loss­es. This approach to cause analy­sis thor­ough­ly stud­ies the M, or Mech­a­nisms, of a spe­cif­ic prob­lem phe­nom­e­non relat­ed to equip­ment, or P. Learn the dif­fer­ences between chron­ic loss­es and spo­radic loss­es, the char­ac­ter­is­tics of P‑M Analy­sis com­pared to oth­er com­mon cause analy­sis approach­es, the eight steps for con­duct­ing P‑M Analy­sis, and a typ­i­cal project team and how they use a sto­ry­board to visu­al­ize their work.

“Introduction to Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)”- TPM engages every­one in the orga­ni­za­tion in activ­i­ties to min­i­mize all types of equip­ment loss­es. The ben­e­fits include increased capac­i­ty, more reli­able process­es, and ele­vat­ed skill lev­els. There are 8 pil­lar activ­i­ties in TPM which sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly improve equip­ment effec­tive­ness while build­ing a robust main­te­nance sys­tem. TPM can be adopt­ed ful­ly step-by-step, or selec­tive­ly to com­ple­ment a lean pro­duc­tion system.
