Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TPM emphasizes reducing variability and improving product quality through autonomous maintenance performed by operators and proactive maintenance practices. It does not focus on machine design or view maintenance as only a tactical issue. Maintenance departments and field service may still play a role in TPM, but the emphasis is on empowering operators to maintain and improve their own equipment.
