The aim of this paper is to develop an innovative Lean Maintenance model in order to optimize the process flow and reduce or eliminate scraps and work-in-progress (WIP) in a manufacturing context. To achieve these objectives has been formulated a new method, called Lean Root Cause & Defect Analysis (LRCDA), which merges the process steps of the existing Root Cause & Failure Analysis (RCFA) tech...

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) has been recognized as one of the significant operation strategy to regain the production losses due to equipment inefficiency. Many organizations have implemented TPM to improve their equipment efficiency and to obtain the competitive advantage in the global market in terms of cost and quality. In the implementation of TPM in a manufacturing organization, bot...

Green building practices play an important role in achieving sustainability, especially the construction industry. buildings are built to minimise impact on environment while reducing of occupants. Unfortunately, focus is green rather than its maintenance. Correspondingly, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) a tool that has been promoted for simplicity and advantages maintaining delivery system....

The goal of quality and reliability systems is the same-to achieve customer satisfaction. Quality and reliability are synonymous. A system cannot be reliable if it does not have high quality. Likewise, a system cannot be of high quality if it is not reliable. The quality performance of a firm is often assessed by the reliability of the firm's equipment or machinery. If a system is unreliable, i...

During high growth era companies are making technical progress in automation and centralization of the plants, which needs large amount of manual work to maintain the automation systems. The strategy of maintaining the equipment of a plant is crucial for the effectiveness of manufacturing. Total productive maintenance (TPM) is a maintenance program, which involves concepts for maintaining plant...

In the literature of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), a large number of frameworks have been proposed by different authors and consultants. If an organisation or a maintenance manager has to make a strategic decision of implementing TPM, it may not be easy for them to identify a suitable framework from a plethora of frameworks that are available in literature. Hence, in this paper, an attemp...

Maintenance has during a long period of time mostly been associated with costs and stoppages and has, of this reason, acquired a connotation of being something necessary evil. Nowadays, availability, reliability and safety in the production plants are more emphasized. An increasingly number of companies replaces the current reactive, fire-fighting, maintenance strategy with proactive strategies...

Paper aims The aim is to analyze the role of motivation work teams in production lines operational results obtained with implementation a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) program single company. Originality areas industrial and maintenance require that human factors influencing performance be continuously investigated cannot focus exclusively on reliability equipment systems. Studies contempl...

Maintenance can play a key role in the long-term profitability of a company in the manufacturing sector, where it can have major impact on delivery, quality and cost. The importance of maintenance has increased, as high productivity and quality can be achieved by means of well-developed and organized maintenance strategies. However, this assumes that maintenance is controlled in such a way that...
