The main objective is to understand how these concepts are applied in practice and how to measure and evaluate them, so that they can then be applied to real production processes. If you are interested in learning about the syllabus and practical exercises, you can find more information about the Lean Maintenance and TPM workshop\/course that I am offering.    <a title=\"Courses\" href=\"https:\/\/www.preditec.com\/formacion\/cursos-sobre-gestion-del-mantenimiento\/mantenimiento-lean-y-tpm\/\">More information.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Article written by: <a title=\"Go to https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jorgeasiain\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jorgeasiain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jorge Asiain Sastre<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em>Senior Mechanical Engineer, CEng MIMechE, MBA<\/em><br \/>\n<em>AlterEvo Ltd.
