TPM · Operational excellence program management

Set up your TPM program in one plan,
track implementation step by step

OPEXIA opens a ready roadmap for every customer with Classic TPM (5S foundation + 8 pillars) or the OpEx model, and brings the pillars' JIPM step ladders, the master plan, the Gantt and the budget together in one set of data. Consultants and the customer team work in the same plan; grupas.ai highlights delays and risks.

Don't let your TPM program scatter across files

OPEXIA keeps the program in one place: roadmap, pillar steps, master plan, Gantt, team, activities and budget share the same data, so everyone looks at the same current picture.

Why OPEXIA

  • The master plan lives in a spreadsheet, pillar steps in slides, activities in e-mails — none of them update each other.
  • Consultants and the customer team work from different lists; who owns which task becomes unclear.
  • Delays are noticed only at the monthly meeting; a lagging pillar is spotted late.
  • Planned versus actual man-days and budget are tracked separately, and the picture is never complete.

Why OPEXIA

What it brings your TPM program

A ready roadmap

Choose Classic TPM or the OpEx model; pillars, steps, activities and draft dates are set up when the project is created.

JIPM step ladders

Each step has an objective, sub-steps, potential benefits and activities; pillar teams climb a shared ladder.

A schedule that fits the scale

Activity durations are kept for small / medium / large scale; changing the scale recalculates durations and the Gantt.

Planned ↔ actual

Actual dates, man-days and a progress log on every action; overdue tasks are flagged automatically.

Two teams, one plan

Grupas consultants and the customer team in one organization; tasks assigned with RACI, activities planned by the hour.

Role-based access

The Grupas administrator sees the whole portfolio; consultants and customer employees see only their projects and tasks.

grupas.ai insights

Finds overdue, unstarted and late-finishing actions and lagging pillars; suggests assignments per task.

Budget and earned value

Planned and actual man-days, budget and earned value by pillar and phase; the master plan exports to CSV.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is OPEXIA?+
OPEXIA is a multi-project web application for managing TPM and operational excellence programs: it opens a project with a ready roadmap for each customer, keeps pillar steps, master plan, Gantt, team, activities and budget in one place, tracks actual progress and highlights delays with grupas.ai.
How does Classic TPM differ from the OpEx model?+
Classic TPM follows the JIPM standard: a 5S foundation and 8 pillars (autonomous maintenance, planned maintenance, focused improvement, quality maintenance, early management, education and training, office TPM, SHE). The OpEx model was developed by Grupas: an infrastructure area plus five workstreams, 6 in total. Each project uses the one that fits the plant's maturity.
What is the difference between the pillar and phase methods?+
With the pillar method, the plan is built on each pillar's step ladder. With the phase method, the plan follows stages: JIPM's 4 stages and 12 steps for Classic TPM, Phase-0 (Preparation) to Phase-4 (Benchmark) for OpEx.
What is the scale for?+
Every activity has separate durations for small, medium and large scale. When the scale on the company card changes, the project's durations and Gantt draft are recalculated from these values.
What does the customer team see?+
There are three roles: the Grupas Administrator manages the whole portfolio; Grupas Consultants and Customer Employees see only the projects they are assigned to and their own tasks. Whether grupas.ai is open to the customer team is set per project.
