Failure Mode Effect Analysis and Total Productive Maintenance: A Review

The goal of quality and reliability systems is the same-to achieve customer satisfaction. Quality and reliability are synonymous. A system cannot be reliable if it does not have high quality. Likewise, a system cannot be of high quality if it is not reliable. The quality performance of a firm is often assessed by the reliability of the firm's equipment or machinery. If a system is unreliable, it is unpredictable and if it is unpredictable, it is not of high quality. FMEA is a one of the most important quality management Techniques. Total Productive Maintenance is useful technique to increase the productivity of plant and equipment with a modest investment in maintenance. The paper reviews various approaches of Failure Mode Effect Analysis and Total Productive Maintenance has been developed so far and discussion about use of FMEA-TPM in integrated approach.
