What is TPM?

Keeping the plant running, together.

TPM, Total Productive Management, is a proven way of working in which everyone in the plant works together to keep machines running well. That way, as little time, material and money as possible is lost.

Compare it to a car: you don't wait until it breaks down. You watch for warning signs, service it on time and fix a problem properly, once.

From losses on the shop floor, via the TPM house, to what it delivers for your plant.

How does TPM work?

Three principles, applied every day.

  1. 1
    Prevent instead of repair

    Spot and tackle deviations early, before they turn into breakdowns.

  2. 2
    Everyone is an owner

    Operators look after their machines, maintenance looks after the technology, management steers and supports.

  3. 3
    A little better every day

    Small improvements are captured as the new standard and add up over time.

PlanDoCheckActStandardholds the improvement in placeImproveone step up every day
Improving is pushing the wheel up the slope. The standard is the wedge that stops it rolling back.

What does TPM deliver?

More good output from the same plant.

Less loss means more time in which your lines actually make good product. And a team that improves by itself, every day.

  • Higher productivity
  • Less downtime
  • Better quality
  • Safer working
  • Engaged employees
  • Better collaboration
To the TPM house ↓

The TPM house

Eight pillars. One digital foundation.

This is how you put TPM into practice: in eight pillars, each with its own owner and its own share of the losses. Together they carry the roof, World Class Performance. TPM Digital is the foundation underneath, so every pillar works on the same data, standards and actions.

Fragmented digitalisation

Many tools. Little coherence.

Companies invest in digitalisation, but without structure a new type of loss emerges: digital loss. Fragmentation slows improvement down.

How RUDIQ applies TPM

Methodology, culture and platform in one approach.

Software alone doesn't change a plant, and a method that isn't sustained fades away. That's why we bring all three.

  • TPM that really works: more than twenty years of experience, hands-on on your shop floor
  • An improvement culture: we coach operators, team leaders and CI staff
  • TPM Digital sustains it: every loss, every action, every improvement in one system
From problem to sustained solution, every dayEvery loss goes through the same four steps.
  1. 1

    Problem

    The operator reports a loss. Instantly visible to everyone.

  2. 2

    Initiative

    In the daily start-up meeting it gets an owner and a priority.

  3. 3

    Action

    Followed up until it's really done.

  4. 4

    Sustain

    The solution becomes the new standard in the right module. Audits make sure it sticks.

    CILSMED & CenterlineKnowledge CenterAudits

Artificial intelligence

AI that knows your plant.

Because all modules come together in one platform, a database of knowledge and experience builds up. The AI layer uses it to give advice when it's needed.

  • Supports daily decisions on the shop floor
  • Connects data from modules, processes and experience
  • Your knowledge stays within your own secure platform

Why does line 3 keep stopping at the capper this week?

Since Monday, 14 minor stops have been reported at the capping station. An earlier 5 Why pointed to a dirty sensor. Since last week, the cleaning step is no longer in shift B's CIL round.

Who it's for

Every role. One system.

For manufacturers in food, beverage, pharma, FMCG and discrete manufacturing. Problems are solved on the shop floor, management steers on results.

  • From SME to multinational
  • One version of the truth for the whole organisation
  • Connects with Power BI, MES and ERP

Operator

Report a loss in seconds, see what happens with it, clear standards.

Leadership

Daily start-up based on facts, assign actions and correct course before things escalate.

Management

Performance across all lines, oversight of what's sustained, steering on facts.

Industry 4.0

The time is now.

After mechanisation, mass production and automation comes the fourth revolution: digitalisation and AI. Without a digital foundation under your improvement process, Industry 4.0 stays theory.

  • Connected systems instead of loose lists
  • Data-driven improvement, every day
  • Ready for AI on your own knowledge

Who TPM Digital is for

Who is TPM Digital for?

TPM Digital is built for the whole organisation, from shop floor to management. In many companies departments, teams and roles still work alongside each other — their own systems, their own ways of working, their own goals.

TPM Digital connects theory and practice, people and processes. No more separate initiatives or islands, but one shared way of working, focused on reducing losses.

Operators, leadership and management work together towards the same goal: increasing efficiency and improving the total result.

Core principles · the basis

Five principles

  1. 01Everyone works from the same foundation
  2. 02One way of working, one structure
  3. 03From separate KPIs to one shared goal
  4. 04Theory and practice connected
  5. 05People and processes aligned

Bottom-up × Top-down

Everything connected in one system.

Bottom-up · problem solving

Solved at the source

Problems are solved on the shop floor. Operators spot, solve and embed them.

Top-down · steering

Steer on results

Management steers on direction, priority and outcome. Insight into progress, audits and KPIs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is TPM, in short?

Total Productive Management is a proven way of working in which the whole organisation tackles the six big losses together: breakdowns, changeovers, minor stops, speed loss, start-up loss and quality loss. The goal is maximum OEE, zero defects and zero accidents.

What is TPM Digital?

One platform that supports and sustains the TPM way of working digitally, from shop floor to management. It consists of seven modules, with DLF at its core, and an AI layer on top.

Which modules does TPM Digital include?

Seven: Daily Losses Follow-up (DLF), CIL (Cleaning · Inspection · Lubrication), SMED & Centerline, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Knowledge Center & Skills with the Knowledge Base, Audits & Process Confirmations and Analytics. Each module solves a specific challenge and is connected to the rest, so context is never lost.

Do you only provide software?

No. We combine TPM methodology on the shop floor, coaching towards an improvement culture and the platform that sustains it all.

Which organisations is it suitable for?

For manufacturers that want to improve continuously, from SME to multinational. Particularly valuable in food, beverage, pharma, FMCG and discrete manufacturing.

How does it relate to Lean, WCM and Six Sigma?

TPM Digital is not a replacement but a foundation. Lean, WCM, Six Sigma and TPM work on it side by side instead of past each other.

Can we connect with Power BI, MES or ERP?

Yes. Analytics has Power BI connectors and there are open APIs for existing BI, ERP and MES systems. Your data stays your data.

What's the difference between Knowledge Center and Knowledge Base?

The Knowledge Center focuses on work instructions and skills (what an operator should know and be able to do). The Knowledge Base is the collective memory: best practices, previously solved problems, troubleshooting and methodologies — searchable, version-controlled, and connected to DLF, CIL, RCA and Audits.

How secure is the AI?

AI runs within one secure platform with controlled access. Your knowledge is not shared with external models.

How can we get started?

We're looking for pilot partners: manufacturers who want to deploy TPM Digital on their own lines together with us and help shape the platform. We start with the TPM and loss scan and DLF at the core, then expand module by module.
