TPM Reloaded

This is a Print-On-Demand book and is printed upon receipt of your order. Delivery will take approximately 10 to 14 days.

TPM Reloaded is a challenging, innovative and timely new look at implementing Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) by one of the field’s leading trainers and authors. The book takes into account the economic upheavals of recent years and demonstrates that TPM is less about moving maintenance tasks to operations than moving accountability for aggregate output of the plant to operators.

Joel Levitt shows that effective TPM, TPM Reloaded, requires a radical difference in management’s view of the worker and even tougher, a radical change in the way workers view their own role.

Joel Levitt is known worldwide as a leading educator in maintenance management. He has trained more than 17,000 maintenance professionals from thousands of organizations in 25 countries. He has more than 30 years of experience in many facets of maintenance. Since 1980, he has been president of Springfield Resources, a management/consulting firm servicing clients on a wide range of maintenance issues. Levitt is a frequent speaker at maintenance and engineering conferences, has published dozens of articles on the subject, as well as a number of successful books, including the Complete Guide to Preventive and Predictive Maintenance; The Handbook of Maintenance Management; Lean Maintenance; Managing Factory Maintenance: and Managing Maintenance Shutdowns and Outages.
