:: Introduction
SMRP is an independent, not-for-profit professional society formed by practitioners, for
practitioners. SMRP is dedicated to instilling excellence in M&R and promoting maintenance
excellence worldwide. With over 3,000 members, we hope that you will join us and take
advantage of the numerous benefits available to help you both professionally and personally.
SMRP began opening affiliated local chapters in 2006 after many volunteers started discussing
the value they’d received from networking and learning with other M&R Professionals locally.
The chapters provide locally-based, low cost education and career development services for
M&R Professionals at every point in their career. Chapters also serve to make education,
networking, and career development available, while providing an avenue to build leadership
skills for early and mid career professionals.

:: TPM Management Operating System
TPM is Production Maintenance at Bosch. In light of an ever increasing lean work
environment, how does Bosch Anderson "boil the ocean" to focus on the right things? The
answer is a comprehensive application of well honed principles around Reliability,
Autonomous Maintenance, Planning / Scheduling, and Equipment Design / Procurement.
Bosch Anderson manufactures to the Tier I / Tier II Automotive supply base, as a significant
worldwide contributor in the production of Oxygen Sensors, Transmission Controls, and
Electronic Throttle Bodies. With a history spanning near 25 years in Anderson, Bosch
Maintenance has evolved to what has been viewed as a premier organization, performing at
unprecedented levels. Where have we been, where are we now, and where are we going as
a Team of near 180 Craftsmen, Planners, Designers and Leaders? How will we know we're
on target and making progress? These are the questions discussed as the Bosch
Maintenance Journey continues in an unsure economy and ever increasing Lean
Manufacturing culture.
