The TPM System is the business initiative that is developing and starts functioning during the 70s in Japan. It is based on the US experience of the concept ‘productive maintenance’. At first it was focused on basic important developments in production but then it developed and today it covers all business activities of an enterprise – production, new products development, trading activities, marketing and others. As a result, its name also changed. Today some call it “Full (total) production management”.
Each high-grade world company has one goal – “0 failures – 0 defects – 0 accidents”. The closely accession to that goal shows the perfection of the organization of work in the company and generates more profits.
The methodology of this initiative is based on the change of attitude to the activity of the company of all employees (both in the way of thinking and the demeanor).
According the traditional approach to the activity the operators are considered responsible only for the production. According to the TPM system they are engaged not only with the production but with the basic maintenance of the equipment as well as some small improvements in it.

* concentrated at the most on “the voice of the customer”

* offers an opportunity to focus the attention on management, improvement and rediscovery of the business processes
* Management technology concentrated in three dimensions:
- Measure for quality
- A process that gives the opportunity for constant elaboration
