At Manufacturing Engineering, Inc. we can help you harness the knowledge of your employees and get the equipment running better than it has ever run before. The key is getting everyone involved in the process of making lasting improvements. This is accomplished through the use of Equipment Improvement Teams, and by implementing Autonomous Operator Maintenance.  The teams brainstorm ideas to improve equipment operation to eliminate waste and losses, and use formal problem solving techniques to put their ideas in place. Autonomous maintenance empowers the operator to keep his equipment running in tip-top shape and eliminate problems before they occur. Manufacturing Engineering can provide the comprehensive training to make this new approach a success in your company.

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is productive maintenance carried out by all employees through small group activity. In TPM the machine operator is responsible for the maintenance of the machine, as well as its operation. The implementation of TPM can generate considerable cost savings through increased productivity of the machinery. The greater the degree of factory automation, the greater the cost reduction generated by TPM. Its most significant contribution is the reduction and elimination of the 6 big losses. The result is a dramatic improvement in the Overall Equipment Effectiveness – O.E.E. 

The team of professionals at Manufacturing Engineering, Inc. can assess and accurately measure your O.E.E. and provide a plan to improve it to world-class standards. Every aspect from team development and formal problem solving techniques, to progress monitoring will be provided.  In addition, we can help you put in place predictive maintenance and equipment management systems, which will address the root causes of many of your problems. We are the total solution for your manufacturing equipment needs.
