Total Productive Maintenance:A Case Study
Subscribe/Renew Journal
In the present scenario of increased product manufacturing competition, the customer has to be satisfied in terms of product quality, product delivery time and the cost of product. To fulfill all these needs, the adoption of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a maintenance program which involves a newly defined concept of maintaining plants and its equipments. The main focus of this paper is to review the concept of TPM and find out the tangible as well as intangible benefits derived at different stages. It also focuses on the calculation of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and implementation methodology. TPM implementation is advantageous to implement TPM concept in a phased manner. The case study is also taken to give insight and in implementing TPM successfully in an efficient manner.
