The people-machine connection at Texas Instruments

Article Abstract:

Total productive maintenance (TPM) is a process that aims at maintaining total productivity using a comprehensive top-down and bottom-up plantwide implementation. The implementation of the program depends largely on the visionary leadership by top management as well as total employee involvement. Another important fundamental factor is the people-machine relationship which is at the heart of a successful manufacturing firm. An example of a fruitful application of the TPM is Texas Instrument-Philippines which reduced cycle time, scrap and costs by as much as 50% and increased productivity by over 25%.
