MAR has adopted TPM3 (Total Productive Manufacturing) principles into the organisation and consequently is the only Accredited TPM3 Supplier in Australasia, as certified by the Centre for TPM3 (Australasia).

TPM3 – Australasian Lean is an enhanced Australasian approach to applying the principles and practices of the Toyota Production System and Toyota Way initially focusing on equipment and process performance recognising that if your equipment, people and processes aren’t working well, frustrations run high and attempts to introduce Flow and reduce Waste in the Value Streams through Lean thinking becomes unsustainable.

Several of our clients now describe TPM3 – Australasian Lean as a structured, yet flexible and practical, phased journey to Lean Production. Others see it as a proven company wide improvement strategy that initially focuses on equipment performance with the flexibility and capability to allow management to expand the methodology throughout the entire supply chain, ultimately involving all employees, suppliers and customers.
