International TPM Institute, Inc. is the pioneer of TPM in the Western world. As always, we are dedicated to the installation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Maintenance Productivity Improvement in manufacturing. Founded by Edward H. Hartmann in 1990, he was the first to introduce and successfully install and adapt TPM in non-Japanese plants in North and South America, Europe and Southeast Asia. Our customized, trademarked, Hartmann method approach of TPEM® has proven worldwide success with clients including such Fortune 500 companies as Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Motorola, Delco, Philips, Bosch, Siemens, Continental, Dunlop, Caterpillar, Kelloggs, Kraft Foods, Colgate and Abbott Laboratories, among many others, and speaks for the high quality of our TPM training and consulting services over the last decades. TPEM® along with our book, “Successfully Installing TPM in a Non-Japanese Plant,” has led to an unparalleled track record for successful installations spanning close to 3 decades. Our approach to TPM has seen up to 70% productivity improvement, over 400% ROI.
