Features: The solid foundation of "TPM: A Comprehensive Production Maintenance Guide" is built upon a series of common-sense measurement, operational, and continuous improvement systems used in most industries worldwide. The primary step is to identify production bottlenecks, then apply a series of continuous improvement methods to systematically eliminate them. These systematic approaches include Statistical Process Control (SPC), Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), ISO9000 quality operation standards, and training, skills, and knowledge in printing technology system processes. The chapters of this book are arranged in the following order, specifically designed to help establish an effective Total Productive Maintenance system. 1. Total Productive Maintenance; 2. Equipment Maintenance; 3. Total Pre-press Maintenance; 4. Statistical Process Control Tools; 5. Recognizing Production Workflow Bottlenecks; 6. Best Practices; 7. Quality Assurance of Printing Materials; 8. Optimizing Printing Machines; 9. Process Control; 10. Quick-Response Printing Preparation.
