What is TPM?

Answer 1

It has various meaning to an individual involved with manufacturing business that also trade it's produced goods abroad on a global Market and was confusing at times so will give three meanings as well as the raw resources trade variation and one foreign call name not commonly used as ran into this to cover all bases.

TPM - mean in production as Time Product Management involving the maintenance of production times to produced products to market - developed in Japan where you get those QR codes originally a tracking and measuring device to tag a items production done two ways to estimate how many production procedures till ready for market -and assets control as each stage of production increased valuation for assets inventory taxes or losses if product. In the financial sector of breaking down a businesses assets the level of near finished goods can equate a better measure of manufacturing businesses valuation:liquidation, auditing, taxation and valuation holdings investment towards seeking added capital asset loans.

TPM - Trade Payment Management meaning traded commodities for key resources of production may be transfer instead of monetary valuations this incurs in internal operations were the same resources may be used to produce two separate lines of goods or a standard inventory trade withing branch store operations. This is also done via means where the manufacturer owns the product till paid for but has the right at any time if said inventory is not consumed or used is traded to another in demand client for immediate use and the previous holder is compensated later. It's use also is imperative as this technique can be used temporarily enable redistribution of valued assets not account on a buying companies fiscal reporting of assets for taxation reasons.

INVESTMENT & FINANCIAL BEST INDICATION DEFINITION

TPM - in a trading and Investment market may mean the (Triger Price Market) index in imports and exports imposing tarrifs that if a key price of imports are hit a tariff is enforced protecting domestic economic industries for unfair outsourced traded goods priced below domestic pricing. This is really a political economic policy that preserves and protects local economic jobs and ensures a nation maintain healthy GDP ratios.

Confusion Reference (measurement reference)

Now in key Foreign Markets TMP takes on a different meaning - (Target Market Price) which mean exactly that it's a key market price such needed that an economic climate is benefits the levels of sales security it's a formulation for projecting price objectives or speculation of economic health per an industry or commodity by price valuation a measure of an industry (break -even average). I've heard this used in selectively planning sales for exports as the key objective was to endorse more funds toward a global economic nation that profit margins are key focus as effecting this is tariffs, shipping rates and sales demand volumes or more attributes to whether trading is specific key regions garner more lucrative sales. This is more an measurement reference analysis then an actual economic trade standard.

Seen all levels of these in a manufacturing /outsourcing, import and export fields back in the day when a major corporation handled all aspects of allocating resources, manufacturing, and it's own logistics as well as global trade negotiations not done presently as break down towards out source specialists handling various field function has reduced payroll and less costly expertise.
