2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Our Approach | Total Productive Maintenance | 78 TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE In this chapter: ƒ OUR APPROACH ƒ INITIATIVES ƒ GOING FORWARD At Owens Corning, we believe in empowering our people — one way we do that is through the integration of Total Productive Maintenance into our operations. TPM is a management system designed to improve productivity. And because TPM encourages all employees to take an active role in maintaining, operating, and improving production, it can help us make real progress on our March to Zero. TPM provides a systematic way for employees to look for the abnormalities that can lead to problems over time, and to take corrective action if issues arise. Widespread adoption of TPM in our facilities helps us create an environment where people are encouraged to solve problems, and we find that the framework and mindset can be applied in exciting ways throughout our operations. By employing the principles of Total Productive Maintenance, Owens Corning demonstrates the confidence we have in our people. Their talent, drive, and passion are what it takes to build a better work environment, and TPM gives them the tools to do it.
