Abstract:

To implement the TPM tools and techniques a particular unit of machine shop in the Manufacturing Industry is considered in order to evaluate the contributions of total productive maintenance (TPM) initiatives to improve manufacturing performance in machine shop. Due to frequent failures and breakdowns occurred in machine shop, it requires more effort on maintenance due to which increased in maintenance cost and this results into different losses at work place which cause low availability, poor performance and low quality of the output ultimately cause low overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of the machine. The correlations between various TPM implementation dimensions and manufacturing performance improvements have been evaluated and validated by employing OEE in machine shop. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the contributions of TPM initiatives through Work sampling to achieve the World class OEE which raise the Quality excellence. Hence in sampling study has been conducted to compute the downtime and utilization of the machines and to improve OEE. The study establishes that focused TPM implementation over a reasonable time period can strategically contribute towards utilization of significant manufacturing performance enhancements.
