Home | Services | Industrial Excellence
The need to improve is natural. Any organization that strives to be successful, competitive and profitable in the long term, must have leaders engaged in a constant urge to make things better. The quest for excellence will then become the guiding principle for the organization.

TECLA collaborates with industrial companies that recognize this need. We guide the HOW. Using our practical knowledge and international experience with world-renowned methodologies such as Total Productive Maintenance, World Class Manufacturing or an approach tailored upon the customers individual needs, we support our customers on their way to reaching Industrial Excellence.

We do not sell a set of tools. We help our customers each step of the way achieve tangible results, create a learning organization, inspire behavioral & cultural change through purpose and focusing on the process and doing-to-make-it-happen approach. The culture where every employee is engaged and valued is a culture committed to accomplishments and one likely to achieve excellent results.


TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE (TPM)
- is a structured approach to reaching Industrial Excellence with a “0” loss concepts and 8 Pillars supporting it. It starts focusing on production, where Value is found, but also Losses are created. The aim is to improve production performance by eliminating losses through coaching people to recognize and act on them. It expands from production to the overall organization later in the implementation phase. Results are accident safe organizations, breakdown free equipment and high-quality products due to the skilled and educated people.
