In the coming decade, TPM must continue to evolve to meet the challenges of Industry 4.0, digitalization, and sustainability expectations. Current TPM System      TPM was originally built on four fundamental pillars: autonomous maintenance, planned maintenance, quality maintenance, and process improvement. As manufacturing systems became more complex, additional elements became necessary to maintain overall production efficiency. Consequently, TPM expanded to eight pillars, some of which also cover human factors, safety, and administrative processes. This evolution ensures that TPM not only enhances equipment reliability but also contributes to continuous improvement and productivity at all le...
