Our total productive maintenance checklist helps you track the implementation of your TPM program across all essential areas. This checklist covers critical aspects like preliminary checks, autonomous maintenance, safety, and planned maintenance.

Companies such as Ford Motors, Harley Davidson, and Texas Instruments have seen downtime and inventory drop by at least 50%, along with improved on-time delivery rates, after adopting TPM practices. With this template, you can better identify critical gaps in regular inspections and accountability processes, leading to more consistent equipment performance.

Frequently asked questions

How can I measure the success of our TPM implementation using this checklist?

Track the percentage of “yes” answers over time as your primary metric for TPM implementation progress. Additionally, correlate this with operational metrics like Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), mean time between failures, and maintenance costs. Success isn’t just about checking boxes but seeing tangible improvements in equipment reliability, uptime, and reduced emergency maintenance needs as your “yes” answers increase.

What are the most common gaps identified when using this TPM checklist for the first time?

The most common gaps when first using this checklist are inadequate role definition, inconsistent walk-around inspections, and weak accountability processes for addressing identified issues. Many organizations have teams in name only without clear responsibilities, or they conduct inspections without following through on findings. Identifying these gaps early allows you to strengthen these fundamental aspects before they undermine your entire TPM program.

How can I adapt this TPM checklist for different departments or equipment types?

Adapt this checklist by adding equipment-specific questions under each section while maintaining the core structure. For example, under “Planned Maintenance,” add questions about specialized preventive tasks for your unique equipment. You might also adjust the frequency of assessments based on equipment criticality.
