TPM, AM and OAC SUB-CATEGORIES
What Is
TPM, AM and OAC
At MCP, we help organisations implement TPM frameworks, embed AM practices, and roll out OAC programmes that improve reliability, reduce downtime, and build a culture of shared responsibility.
TOTAL PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE (TPM) is a proactive approach focused on eliminating equipment-related losses by integrating maintenance into everyday operations and fostering collaboration between production and maintenance teams.
AUTONOMOUS MAINTENANCE (AM) is a key pillar of TPM, where operators take responsibility for routine tasks such as cleaning, inspecting, and minor maintenance to keep equipment in optimal condition.
OPERATOR ASSET CARE (OAC) supports AM by providing structured training and routines that empower operators to take ownership of asset reliability and performance.
