    Future Events

    The TPM3 Pillar Workshops have been specifically developed to assist Company Leaders to enhance their knowledge of the practical application of the TPM3 core & support pillars.

    Several of our clients now describe TPM3 as Australasian Lean as it is a structured, yet flexible and practical, phased journey to Lean Production initially focusing on equipment performance as a driver to rapidly bring benefits to shareholders, customers and employees. Others see it as a proven company wide improvement strategy that initially focuses on equipment performance with the flexibility and capability to allow management to expand the methodology throughout the entire supply chain, ultimately involving everyone.
