This book present the state of the art in Total Productive Maintainance (TPM) and its benefits. The authors present a survey applied to 368 manufacturing industries in order to determine their level of execution of TPM. Then a series of causal models are presented. For each model, the authors present a measure of the dependency between the critical success factors and the benefits obtained, allowing industry managers to differentiate between essential and non-essential activities. The content also allows students and academics to obtain a theoretical and empirical basis on the importance of TPM as a lean manufacturing tool in the context of industry 4.0.
Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Modern manufacturing requires that organisations that want to be successful and to achieve world-class manufacturing must posses both effective and efficient maintenance. One approach to improve the performance of maintenance activities is to implement a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) system. The aim of this dissertation is to prove that the introduction of a TPM system is by no means an easy task, because there are several barriers that encumber the implementation process, the driving forces to success have to be identified and well understood, and a process of organisational change has to be managed successfully. The study analyses impediments, barriers and obstacles to the implementation procedure and discovers key success factors concluding with a conceptual framework for a successful TPM implementation. The dissertation also examines the challenge of managing change within the TPM context and identifies that such a TPM journey requires employee and management commitment to be successful. Through a case study of implementing TPM in an automotive supplier company, the practical aspect within and beyond basic TPM theory and problems encountered during the implementation are discussed and analysed. The paper concludes that the implementation of TPM is definitely not an easy task, which is considerably burdened by organisational, behavioural and other barriers, and necessitates the difficult mission to change peoples mindsets from a traditional maintenance approach.

Maintenance has a far greater impact on corporate profitability than most managers are willing to consider, much less admit. And, as the competitive environment in the world continues to increase the pace, no company can ignore the advantages of Total Productive Maintenance. The author shows how TPM is becoming an essential element of world-class manufacturing by providing optimum maintenance policies and practices.
A systematic approach to improving production and quality systems, total productive maintenance (TPM) involves all employees through a moderate investment in maintenance. Therefore, a successful TPM implementation requires support of all employees from C-level on down. Total Productive Maintenance: Strategies and Implementation Guide highlights the
Total Productive Maintenance is a Japanese-originated philosophy aimed at maximizing the effectiveness of machinery and equipment on the shop floor. This book provides a way of linking machinery performance directly to business ratios, and shows TPM can be applied to increase productivity.
You've heard the buzz about how TPM can minimize machine downtime while it maximizes productivity. Now you can discover exactly how to integrate a TPM program into your workshop to make its implementation a bottom-line success! This book explains the subtle but distinct difference between TPM as an equipment management strategy and not a maintenance management program. Being able to distinguish between these two mindsets can help your TPM program yield dramatic results. One reading of this practical new reference, can help you make the old saying 'good maintenance is good business' a reality.
The never-ending global search for a country with a low labour wage is almost bottoming out. The so-called labor-oriented apparel manufacturing industry is poised to change. Due to fierce global pressure on reducing price and lead time, the textiles and apparel producers will have to banish all waste from their supply chain. Lean manufacturing which removes waste and smoothens the process flow is gaining popularity among textiles and apparel producers and will be a key element for the survival of the industry in the years ahead. An overview of various lean tools with a balanced mix of conceptual knowledge and practical applications in the context of apparel manufacturing Valuable industry information which managers and engineers can follow themselves without the need to hire outside consultants Case studies and examples from apparel manufacturing demonstrating how lean tools are being used successfully by leading organizations; an academician’s delight Possible use cases of several lean tools having potential use in the apparel manufacturing scenario
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) focuses on maximizing equipment performance, establishing a productive maintenance system that optimizes its life cycle, contributing for the continuous improvement and availability, avoiding early equipment wear, being necessary that the maintenance works on preventing with managerial focus. In this study, the impact of each implemented TPM pillar in the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metric was analyzed, evaluating the performance resulting from each implemented pillar. The approach of the research is predicated on the Survey method, based on the intentional sample of the industrial companies in Brazil, which implemented the method. The results evidenced that the Focused Improvement and Planned Maintenance pillars were implemented in most of the respondent companies, being part of different segments, such as metallurgical, food, textile, auto-parts, household appliances, school material, automobile and chemical products. The OEE metric showed the TPM evolution comparing the result at the beginning of the implemented activities and at the end. Other important observation was in the implementation of the pillars, when compared with the suggested literature, a change of priority and sequence occurred. The Autonomous Maintenance pillar was suggested as the second pillar to be implemented. It is implemented only after the Training and Education pillar, which is the fourth suggested pillar. The other pillars were implemented in the original sequence indicated by literature.
