In 1953, 20 Japanese companies formed a Preventive Maintenance research group and, after a mission to the USA in 1962 to study equipment maintenance, the Japan Institute of Plant Engineers (JIPE) was formed in 1969. In 1969, JIPE started working closely with the automotive component manufacturer Nippondenso on the issue of PM. The company decided to allow production operators to carry out routine maintenance. This was the beginning of TPM. Tajiri and Gotah (1992) point out that TPM concept was communicated throughout Japan, but only a small number of factories took up the initiative in early days. It was the severe economic situation in the early 1970s that accelerated the adaptation of TPM and it was propagated by the seven-step programme developed by the Tokai Rubber Industries (Nakajima, 1989).
The seven TPM pillars are critical to the success of TPM,
focussed improvements,
autonomous maintenance,
planned maintenance,
quality maintenance,
education and training,
early equipment maintenance, and
safety and the environment)

The paper has good discussion about difficulties of implementing TPM.
One point that comes to my mind is that Japanese were able to implement TPM as part of the multiskilling their production operators. In many Japanese companies due to increasing automation, production workers are having surplus time and there are being developed with mutliple skills.

Autonomous Maintenance Level 2 Training Program Here is a resource you may want to use and/or share with others. It is a 4 CD set (Silver CD set) that provides more detailed equipment and maintenance training material for operators as a 30 week training program. Has a maintenance newsletter per week too that can be freely distributed to all personnel in a single facility. (Written in plain English for equipment operators to easily absorb.)
Must see at http://www.bin95.com/reliability_training.htm and share with others. A great TPM tool to take your Autonomous Maintenance program to the next level.
