The present investigation reports cognitive improvement following withdrawal of topiramate (TPM) maintenance therapy in two patients with intractable seizures. The first patient received a neuropsychological evaluation after 10 months of adjunctive TPM treatment and was reassessed after complete withdrawal. The second patient received a first evaluation without TPM therapy. A reassessment was c...

This paper will review all the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Pillars, TPM Implementation methodology and the contribution of TPM towards improving manufacturing performance.. It will also focus on calculating the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in one of the two wheeler automobile Industry in India. The relationship between various TPM implementation dimensions and manufacturing perf...

Today in Indian industries total productive maintenance (TPM) has made significant impact on the managers, engineers, technicians and workers. Either with direct involvement in TPM implementation process or due to indirect awareness from employees of other nearby industries who have adopted or planned to adopt TPM concept; TPM has become part of concern for significant portion of employees of I...

Preventive maintenance (PM) in the production industry is one of most essential measures to eliminate accidental machinery failures by replacing/repairing worn out machines or parts. The decision when and where perform preventive non-trivial due complex stochastic nature PM implemented. This article deals with theoretical practical implementation based on a unique modification total productive ...

Abstract: This article analyses the difficulties observed in adopting Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) program production systems. The research strategies used for this purpose consisted of a literature review, panel experts and survey with professionals working manufacturing companies. Altogether, 69 market took part collected data was analyzed through PLS-SEM technique. Results indicate tha...

Failure to deliver orders because of low production capacity is one the main problems faced by companies in plastics sector. This has repercussions, creating customer dissatisfaction and directly affecting profits increasing costs. Among causes these downtime, which caused high set-up times machine failures during process. To solve problems, a lean manufacturing model proposed that includes 5S,...

Maintenance is a vital function in manufacturing systems for maintaining quality. During the coming period two ideas are evolved Total Productive and Quality Management simultaneously with other facts to attain excellence production systems. Various feature of putting into practice (TPM) expressed examined this study. productive maintenance explained thoroughly, philosophy, planning, improvemen...

Due to intense global competition, manufacturing companies need improve and optimize productivity, increase production flexibility, gain competitive advantages. Companies have begun look for new approaches strategies in the field of management. This includes tools like Single Minute Exchange Die (SMED) Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), which aim manage machines equipment, reduce waste lead ti...

Today's markets are uncertain and highly competitive, surviving in them becomes a challenge for companies. Therefore, companies should be at the forefront having its equipment in optimal conditions to avoid failures, in addition the updating of personnel in order to ensure that their processes provide quality products. For this reason, it is necessary to perform maintenance of the machines regu...

Unexpected failures can reduce throughput—especially if the failure affects the process bottleneck. Furthermore, when a failure occurs, it usually takes longer to correct than a scheduled maintenance activity would, resulting in significantly higher costs. It has been empirically shown that preventive maintenance can reduce the frequency of unexpected failures and, if done at appropriate time i...
