Total productive maintenance (TPM); as a vital function in manufacturing systems

Implementing Successful Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) in a Manufacturing Plant

This study examines the impact of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) implementation on an organization in terms of productivity and quality levels. The human resource aspect was investigated to assess motivation of operators through training to reduce set up times, change over stoppages, defects rate and resource wastage on the shop floor. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) implementation case ...

Applying Total Productive Maintenance - Tpm Principles in the Flexible Manufacturing Systems

Implementing Total Productive Maintenance ( Tpm ) in Malaysian Manufacturing Organisation : an Operational Strategy Study

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) has been recognized as one of the significant operation strategy to regain the production losses due to equipment inefficiency. Many organizations have implemented TPM to improve their equipment efficiency and to obtain the competitive advantage in the global market in terms of cost and quality. In the implementation of TPM in a manufacturing organization, bot...

A Budget-Sensitive Approach to Scheduling Maintenance in a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Program

Unexpected failures can reduce throughput—especially if the failure affects the process bottleneck. Furthermore, when a failure occurs, it usually takes longer to correct than a scheduled maintenance activity would, resulting in significantly higher costs. It has been empirically shown that preventive maintenance can reduce the frequency of unexpected failures and, if done at appropriate time i...

Analyzing the effects of implementation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) in the manufacturing companies: a system dynamics approach

In today’s highly competitive business environment, manufacturers have to offer a great variety of products on a high quality level, in the least amount of time for an acceptable price. Therefore machine maintenance and in general, implementing an appropriate maintenance strategy has become increasingly important for manufacturing companies to accomplish these requirements. Total productive mai...
