By Our Special Correspondent

KOLKATA, NOV. 16. Four units of Tata Steel have been adjudged winners of the TPM Excellence award-2004 by the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance (JIPM). The institute confers these global awards after evaluating the plants' performance on the total productive maintenance (TPM) front.

Implementing TPM helps a company achieve a position of zero accident, zero breakdown, zero defect and zero customer complaint.

A company release said that competitiveness, sustainability and the need to maintain its position as the lowest cost producer in the world had prompted the company to adopt various initiatives at its critical units. TPM was such a measure. The units where TPM was implemented were the hot strip mill, precision tube mills, bearings division and the wire rod mill. Encouraged by the results achieved at these units Tisco has now decided to deploy the TPM philosophy at all the manufacturing and support service areas including the mines and collieries and at present 50 Tisco units are in various stages of TPM implementation, the release said.
