Process industries have a particularly urgent need for collaborative equipment management systems, but until now have lacked for programs directed toward their specific needs. TPM in Process lndustries brings together top consultants from the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance to modify the original TPM Development Program. In this volume, they demonstrate how to analyze process environments and equipment issues including process loss structure and calculation, autonomous maintenance, equipment and process improvement, and quality maintenance. For all organizations managing large equipment, facing low operator/machine ratios, or implementing extensive improvement, this text is an invaluable resource.
Following the format of TPM Development Program, which focused on fabrication and assembly industries, consultants from the Japanese Institute of Plant Maintenance now document approaches to implementing TPM in process industries. Individual chapters focus on the process environment and equipment issues such as process loss structure and calculation, autonomous maintenance, equipment and process improvement, and quality maintenance. Translated from the original Japanese publication of 1992. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
