Total Productive Maintenance: Predictive Maintenance

This course is designed to demonstrate the goals, methods and practical benefits of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) with a focus on predictive maintenance. The early detection of developing problems is fundamental to preventive maintenance. However, some problems are difficult to detect early enough or accurately enough to safeguard equipment effectiveness.

In this interactive online course, you will learn that predictive maintenance techniques provide the means to identify deterioration not yet detectable with the five senses, and to measure the amount of deterioration accurately so that parts may be replaced at the optimum time. If parts are replaced too late, equipment effectiveness suffers; if parts are replaced too early, unnecessary costs are generated. In this course, you will also learn that predictive maintenance is a cornerstone of TPM.
