Total Productive Maintenace: A Detailed Study

Abstract

tpm (total productive maintenance) is a holistic approach to equipment maintenance that strives to achieve perfect production. In addition, it values a safe working environment. Total productive maintenance (tpm) is an approach to improve and enhance productivity. Tpm improves the overall effectiveness of equipment with the active involvement of operators. The objectives of this paper is to review the literature on tpm and based on this summarize the findings in the form definitions of tpm as given by various researchers, the benefits achieved as a result of tpm implementation, targets of tpm, and implementation aspects of tpm. In the end, some concluding observations and directions for future research.
