What do Key Performance Indicators (KPI) measure in the context of TPM?

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are essential metrics that provide quantifiable measures to evaluate the effectiveness and success of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) initiatives. In the context of TPM, these indicators help organizations track various aspects of maintenance performance, such as equipment availability, performance efficiency, and quality rates. By evaluating these metrics, companies can make informed decisions about their maintenance strategies, identify areas for improvement, and measure progress toward their goals. This systematic approach is crucial for enhancing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and achieving the objectives of TPM, which emphasize proactive, preventive maintenance and employee involvement.
