This TPM audit checklist allows you to evaluate your organization’s implementation of the eight Total Productive Maintenance pillars. When equipment failures persist despite maintenance efforts, this comprehensive audit helps you pinpoint which specific TPM elements need strengthening—whether it’s autonomous maintenance practices or gaps in your safety protocols.

Research shows that that facilities with regular TPM audits experienced a 30-50% decrease in downtime and lower maintenance costs. With this template, you can put those results within reach for your own operation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I determine which sections of the TPM audit checklist to prioritize for my facility?

Focus on areas where you’ve experienced recurring issues first. If unexpected breakdowns are common, prioritize the Autonomous Maintenance and Planned Maintenance sections. For quality concerns, start with the Quality Maintenance section. The audit results will naturally guide your improvement priorities based on where you have the most “NO” responses.

How can I use this TPM audit checklist to improve our OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)?

The checklist identifies specific TPM implementation gaps that directly impact OEE components. “NO” responses in Autonomous Maintenance and Planned Maintenance sections typically affect availability. Quality Maintenance gaps influence quality rates, while Focused Improvement shortfalls often impact performance rates. Address these gaps systematically to see measurable OEE improvements.

What documentation should I gather before conducting a TPM audit with this checklist?

Collect maintenance records, equipment downtime data, training logs, quality reports, and previous audit results. Having these documents ready allows you to verify responses during the audit rather than relying solely on observations or memory. This evidence-based approach ensures your audit accurately reflects your current TPM implementation status.
