Methodology of TPM to Increase the Performance & Productivity of Banknote Processing Machines.

Abstract

Maintenance is an important practice that is used for servicing, repairing and replacing of faulty equipment Maintenance includes but not limited to all actions taken to preserve and retain equipment in serviceable condition, routine work to make sure that the facility works at its designed conditions or capacity, and any activity including testing, measuring, or adjustments. Almost all facilities apply maintenance in their premises to enhance lifetime and productivity. Total productive maintenance (TPM) is a comprehensive path from senior management to those involved in equipment maintenance activities. This paper presents the application of TPM methodology (including 8 pillars) at The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE), to increase the performance and productivity of the banknote processing machines. In addition to discusses autonomous maintenance pillar. Since CBE has a large variety of instruments and equipment, it ‘ll pave the way for other facilities to follow. The results which uses Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), are compared and concluded.
