Seminar Objectives

This seminar will introduce you to:

1. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and the major challenges surrounding its implementation in Malaysia SMIs.
2. Web-hosted Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).

Introduction - Prescription for Total TPM Success

At least every second attempted installation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) results in failure. What went wrong? The reasons are many—lack of proper understanding of the total effort required, lack of management support, lack of sufficient TPM staff, union resistance, not enough training carried out, change of priorities, lack of persistence, failure to develop a good installation strategy, and simply choosing the wrong approach.

So, what is the right approach? Why is it so difficult for us to implement it? Over the past 30 years, the speaker has been involved with dozens of TPM installations worldwide. The approach to TPM that follows is based on that experience. It outlines what it takes to produce excellent results. The speaker will provide TPM implementation experiences examples from Malaysia, Europe and Japan share his experiences on the challenges implementing it.

Featured Technology – CMMS on the Web

There has been a trend in recent years towards the use of remote software services through Application Service Providers (ASP). These are companies who make software applications available via the Internet to users who, rather than buying software, pay rental fees for it. The software does not have to be installed locally, the application being available through any web browser, and all support and maintenance is handled by the service provider.

Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) vendors are not the only ones offering these solutions. CAD modeling, engineering design, finance packages, purchasing, ERP and even your company Intranet can now be rented. This is an expanding sector and the signs are that major growth is about to take place. Earlier problems with slow data transfer speeds, communication costs and data security have largely been eliminated and this has made ASP a very attractive proposition.

This seminar will feature a local ASP CMMS solution called eam2go.com. eam2go is simple, easy-to-use web-based application that can help your organization track information in its TPM initiatives. A CMMS is typically used to increase asset life, track maintenance costs, prevent and predict equipment failures, improve labor productivity, reduce costly equipment downtimes, minimize investments in inventory, and lower the total cost of maintenance.
