TOTAL PRODUVCTIVE MAINTENANCE IMPLEMENTATION THROUGH DIFFERENT STRATEGIES: A REVIEW
Keywords:
Productivity Improvement Strategy, Maintenance Function, Performance Measures, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)Abstract
Competitive pressures and changing production management paradigms have, in recent years, increased the
importance of reliable and consistent production equipment. Whatever the level of competition exists in manufacturing
industry the performance greatly affects the survival and prolong life time in industrial scenario.
In measuring the corresponding level of performance of a particular organization, the term “productivity ” becomes
vital. the combination of these maintenance practices; called as maintenance function would optimize performance of the
applied productivity improvement strategy .Since maintenance also has a strategic dimension, its performance
measurement system should be linked to the espoused strategy of the function in order to get the maximum impact.
With regards to Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) implementation, Indian manufacturing organizations have often
been plagued with teething problems and challenges.
The developed working system and new responsibilities is explained through Autonomous Maintenance (AM), Preventive
Maintenance (PM), and 5S Modeling, with a suggestion for additional working performance indicators.
