Book a demoThe method
How is the method used in these regions?
The method does not change by country
TPM began in Japan and runs in plants worldwide. JIPM assesses plants outside Japan for the TPM Excellence Award, and MaintWiz holds the step audits, tags and Kaizen results its assessors read. The eight pillars and the implementation steps do not change by country. What changes by company and country is the working language of operators, the ERP and plant systems in place, and the data and security policies. MaintWiz answers the language and systems checks: records in any script through Unicode, SAP PM and MM through web services, IoT, MES, SCADA, PLC and DCS sources, and enterprise single sign-on, each in use in live enterprise implementations.
MaintWiz TPM records and the standards European and UK plants report against

MaintWiz AI agents run on your plant's own records, such as tags, work orders and losses, and generate a list of what needs to be watched. The agent proposes and your team approves, so every action keeps a named owner.
Several sites
How should you evaluate TPM software across several sites?
What to check across several sites
- Write one scope: pillars, sites, users, integrations, hosting and languages.
- Use the buyer's guide criteria and add the regional checks above.
- Run the same three scenarios with each vendor: raise and close a tag, schedule and report planned work, record a stop and roll up OEE.
- Ask how OEE rolls up from equipment to line and plant: by adding planned times, not by averaging percentages.
- Ask for an itemised three-year quote; see TPM software pricing.
Bring one plant's equipment list and the report head office asks for. In the demo you see tags raised on a mobile device and routed to an owner with a target date, overdue alerts showing what has passed its target date, an audit finding raised in the abnormality register, a tag converted to a work order when maintenance work is needed, and OEE rolled up from equipment to line and plant by planned time. Data exports to XLS and PDF, so the same records feed the report head office reads. The entire TPM can be rolled out in 6 to 8 weeks, with easy Excel uploads, screens your teams pick up quickly and guided project management from the MaintWiz implementation team.
