Workshop leaders play a central role in implementing Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) within a company. Kunio Shirose, a top TPM consultant in Japan, presents a practical guide for these leaders. The book is designed for quick reading and people-oriented practicality, incorporating cartoons and graphics to convey hands-on leadership issues in TPM implementation. Shirose uses case studies to reinforce his ideas on training and managing equipment operators in the care of their equipment.

The book also addresses the cooperative relationship required between maintenance and production, emphasizing three imperatives for successful TPM implementation: changing the quality and functioning of the equipment, the way operators think about equipment, and the workplace environment. Originally published by the Japan Management Association, this book is an essential resource for anyone involved in TPM.
