Total Productive Maintenance or TPM is a buzz-word used to justify increased maintenance budgets.

Since maintenance of plant and equipment is usually a good use of funds this approach is usually completely justified.

Make sure and include lots of very technical math in the middle of the report so they will only read the executive summary! AND make sure the math is correct, just in case they do.
