TPM Facilitator Certification Training

Build in-house TPM leaders to drive Zero-loss, Zero-breakdown culture

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is powerful—but without internal champions, most TPM journeys stall after a few tools and posters. TPM facilitator training is a practical, 4 day program that develops internal TPM champions who can design, implement and sustain world-class TPM practices on your shop floor.

A TPM Facilitator is the in-house leader who understands TPM concepts, pillars and rollout roadmap, can coach teams, run pillar activities and link TPM to business results and bridges management intent and shop-floor execution.

Equip your Team with Essential TPM Skills as TPM Facilitators

Understand and explain TPM, Its Pillars Clearly

Articulate TPM goals (zero breakdowns, zero defects, zero accidents) and how TPM improves OEE, culture and cross-functional collaboration.

Design a TPM Roll-Out Roadmap

Plan phases, milestones and governance for TPM implementation—from preparation and pilot areas to full-scale deployment and award readiness.

Facilitate Autonomous & Planned Maintenance Activities

Guide AM steps, CLIT standards, tag systems and small-group activities. Support Planned Maintenance (PM) 7-step development and maintenance prevention initiatives.

Lead Pillar Teams & Small-Group Activities

Run pillar meetings (AM, PM, Quality Maintenance, Focused Improvement, Training & Development, SHE etc.) and Coach small improvement teams to identify losses, use QC tools and document Kaizens.

Drive Zero-Loss Thinking & OEE Improvement

Analyse the six big losses, identify chronic losses and link TPM projects to measurable business results.

Act as an Internal TPM Change Agent

Clarify roles and responsibilities of TPM facilitators. Engage leadership, align TPM with business challenges and sustain momentum through reviews and visual management.
