TPM Checklist (Total Productive Maintenance)
Operator-performed equipment maintenance checklist for autonomous maintenance and TPM programs.
About This Template
The TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) Checklist is a fundamental tool for implementing autonomous maintenance, one of the eight pillars of TPM. This template empowers operators to take ownership of basic equipment care through daily cleaning, inspection, and minor maintenance activities. By involving operators in equipment care, TPM programs reduce breakdowns, improve OEE, extend equipment life, and develop operator equipment knowledge. The checklist format provides a structured daily routine for cleaning, lubricating, inspecting, and tightening equipment, catching small problems before they become major breakdowns. TPM shifts maintenance culture from reactive repair to proactive prevention.
