Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a lean manufacturing technique. The cover story in the January issue of Reliable Plant Magazine profiles Karl Schmidt Unisia in Marinette, Wis. They use TPM, and other lean manufacturing techniques, to manage and continually improve their ability to produce a diverse product line of pistons. It makes interesting reading.
The article quotes Scott Haulotte, the Manager of Technical Services and Continuous Improvement, as saying, "We are, I believe, a success story," says Haulotte. "We are showing that you can succeed, even in a high-labor-cost country, if you work hard, think smart and come together."
