A NEW PLATFORM IN PROGRESS · LAUNCHING 2026

TPM-OS: The Digital Operating System for World Class Manufacturing.

A field-tested platform designed to boost and stabilise your OEE — built by operators who've rolled out TPM at Tetra Pak, Heineken, FrieslandCampina, Stora Enso, SCA, BillerudKorsnäs and Galderma.

No spam. We'll write once, when the founding cohort opens.

THE SHIFT

From scattered data to a single agenda.

Most plants today run their TPM rhythm on spreadsheets, PowerPoints, and the pillar champion's laptop. Improvement actions live in twenty places. Audit results live in another five. The consultant leaves and the discipline drifts. TPM-OS makes the whole system visible to everyone — and bakes the standard work into the platform itself, so the rhythm continues whether the consultant is in the room or not.

The old way

Spreadsheets & PowerPoints

The TPM-OS way

Single digital agenda

Data is siloed and often outdated.
Real-time transparency across all levels.
Knowledge leaves with the consultant.
Process is baked into the digital DNA.
Difficult to track "sustained" results.
Automated auditing and discipline loops.
Zero standard work for the rollout.
Standardised workflows based on the TPM pillars.

And ready for the AI era — because your data finally is.

Built for what comes next.

We're not just digitising your TPM rhythm. We're preparing the plant for what comes next. When the data lives in one place, captured by the people who do the work, audit-trailed by the system, you can finally trust it enough to feed it to an AI agent.

Loss prediction. Anomaly detection. Predictive maintenance that actually predicts. The roadmap is built around this: a clean sensor is an honest sensor, and AM is what keeps the sensors clean. The discipline you build with TPM-OS today is the data foundation your AI runs on tomorrow.

SCOPE — LAUNCHING 2026

Three pillars first. The full daily-improvement loop. The rest as we earn them.

TPM has eight pillars. We're not going to ship a half-baked version of all of them. v1 covers the three that move OEE most directly — and connects them through the daily-improvement loop, so what gets caught on the morning shift becomes the kaizen of the next sprint.

Pillar 1

Autonomous Maintenance

Jishu Hozen

The operator-led foundation. CILT routines (Clean, Inspect, Lubricate, Tighten), one-point lessons, defect tagging, AM-step audits. The pillar that decides whether everything else holds — and the pillar that, done right, gives every other system clean data to stand on.

Pillar 2

Planned Maintenance

PM

PM schedules the maintenance team actually trusts because they wrote them. MTBF / MTTR tracking, calibration cycles, spares-criticality lists, work-order discipline. The right preventive action at the right cadence — and the visibility to see when it's slipping.

Pillar 3

Focused Improvement

Kobetsu Kaizen + Daily Control

Two halves of the infinite improvement loop, in one pillar.

Left side — Daily Control. Shift handovers, end-of-shift reviews, the AM team's daily heartbeat. The early-warning system that catches losses before they compound.

Right side — Kaizen. Events tied directly to specific OEE losses, A3-style problem-solving, loss-tree analysis, before-and-after evidence the plant manager can read in 60 seconds.

Underneath all of it: an OEE picture your operators trust — because they're the ones entering the data.

FREE DIAGNOSTIC · AVAILABLE NOW

Get your Loss Score in 5 questions.

The platform is in build. The diagnostic is live today. Five questions about how your plant runs TPM — I'll send back a one-page PDF with your Loss Score, your three biggest loss buckets, and one this-week action for each. Same engine as our sister product's Chaos Score, retuned for the line.

1

Where the daily OEE lives

Real-time dashboard, daily report, spreadsheet, whiteboard — or nobody asks?

2

AM → PM handoff

When the operator tags a defect on their CILT round, what actually happens to that tag?

3

Last 5 OEE losses → kaizen tied?

Take your five biggest losses from the last 90 days. Can you point to a kaizen, an owner, and a verified delta for each?

4

If your TPM consultant left tomorrow…

Continues automatically, continues with effort, drifts in a quarter — or fades within weeks?

5

AM step audits last quarter

JIPM 5-step ladder — every line on schedule, paper-only, postponed, or empty folder?

THE MAKER

Gösta Seuranen

Gösta Seuranen.

25+ years building TPM and WCOM rollouts on the shopfloor

Gösta has spent 25+ years rolling out WCOM and TPM at Tetra Pak, Heineken, FrieslandCampina, Stora Enso, SCA, BillerudKorsnäs and Galderma — across Sweden, the Netherlands, the UK, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Mongolia and the US. TPM-OS exists because the system has to stay after the project closes — a digital coach that lives in the plant, not on a consultant's laptop. The discipline continues after the audit ends. The knowledge compounds instead of leaving.

TPM and Lean are two ways of looking at the same factory. Some plants need both. We built one platform for each, on purpose, so each one stays fit for its audience.
