It is vital for organisations to have an effective maintenance strategy to address these problems; Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a comprehensive maintenance methodology that compliments this need to solve problems of losses and waste reduction. This study outlines what TPM is and why it should be implemented; determining its principles or objectives and the benefits that should be realised. The related tools and techniques have been assessed and the key components to its successful implementation in industry. Secondary research was conducted to gain an understanding of TPM and its related tools and techniques. Primary research was conducted including site visits to Walker Precision Engineering and Coca-Cola Enterprises also questionnaires were distributed to persons in industry and a case study was undertaken in order to determine its applicability across differing engineering environments. This allowed the group to oversee various different maintenance programs and made it possible to compare and contrast with TPM. We concluded that TPM is a revolutionary concept that has tangible results in reducing maintenance costs whilst increasing the efficiency, capability and profitability of engineering organisations. However from primary research the project team concluded that typically engineering organisations will draw specific components from TPM that are more applicable within their own organisation. 4 III.

Introduction In today‟s industrial scenario huge losses and wastage occur on the manufacturing shop floor. This waste is typically down to certain factors such as operators, processes and tooling or equipment. These factors have knock on effects to the production capability or capacity of manufacturing organisations, either by causing idle machines or manpower or by machine downtime. In recent times the introduction of “Zero Oriented” concepts such as zero waste or breakdowns has become a pre-requisite to solving these problems in the manufacturing industry. Henceforth a revolutionary concept of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) has been adopted in many industries across the world to address the problems listed above. In this study TPM will be evaluated by researching key criteria such as;  What is Total Productive Maintenance?  Why implement TPM?  Related Tools and Techniques  Research into Industry via Site Visits, Questionnaires and Case Studies Due to TPM‟s theoretical advantages and current global emergence, it is a topic of great interest and debate, meriting an investigation into its applicability across various engineering environments. 9 1.1Scope 1.1.1 In scope  Secondary research will be carried out in order to develop a full understanding of total productive maintenance, its history, principles and its emergence and relevance in engineering today. o This will include background reading of relevant literature and internet research. After initial secondary research, write ups will begin on project introduction, TPM history, theory, implementation and components. o A literature review will be carried out on any case studies, articles or relevant books that have been analysed throughout the early stages of the project.  A questionnaire will be developed and distributed to several local businesses in order to initiate primary research. o A survey of UWS will be used to develop the questionnaire o Any findings or opinions drawn from questionnaire replies will be written up and included in the report.  An investigation into computerised maintenance management systems will transpire. This will include a demonstration of a CMMS and its features by utilizing Microsoft access and the maintenance software “Maintenance assistant”.  As part of primary research, the group will undergo several site visits, including Walker Precision Engineering, and the Coca Cola Enterprises bottling plant. o After each visit, a review will be written up containing any conclusions or findings with relation to TPM, as well as, with reason, any recommendations made by the group.  The group will interview the head of maintenance for UWS Hamilton campus o Any findings or conclusions will be converted into report form  After all primary research has been completed time will be allocated to generating the report and combining any material written by separate members of the group. o This will include a review of the report and any fundamental improvements will entail.  Once the report is finalised preparation for the group presentation will begin. 1.1.1 Out of scope  While recommendations will be made following each site visit, the group will not be implementing TPM or any of its components into any of these organisations.  While a mock CMMS will be created for the facilities of UWS, the system will not be incorporated into the organisation. 10 2 Total Productive Maintenance 2.1 Total Productive Maintenance History Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) as it is known today began as an evolving process in the post-World War Two era of Japan. The Deming lectures on Quality Control introduced the concepts of improving quality that help to reduce expenditure on defects while increasing productivity of the workforce and overall market share and profitability of manufacturers. These ideas grew into what is internationally recognised as the excellent reputation of Japanese goods and products. Amongst these aspects of introducing quality control into manufacturing plants was to strategically organise maintenance, not only on the products themselves but also the manufacturing processes creating the products, such as machinery or tooling equipment. The details of the organisation of maintenance; from maintenance staff, the scheduling and planning of maintenance were carefully studied and analysed to achieve the best results. The development cycle of TPM can be broken down into stages of its evolution. It first began in the 1950‟s Japan, where the nation had heavily borrowed from the United States techniques such as Preventative Maintenance (PM), these theories dictate that to predict failure of a machine and conduct maintenance on machines or tooling to stop any failure from occurring is in the best interests of an manufacturing facility, this was the beginning of the establishment of maintenance functions in a manufacturing context. Always improving and adding to the theories of improving quality, Preventative Maintenance slowly morphed into Productive Maintenance, circa 1960‟s. The differentiation between engineering for reliability or Reliability Engineering and simply scheduling maintenance started as a greater understanding was developing into what factors contribute to a quality initiative. Indeed advances in technology and manufacturing processes created a need for skilled maintenance engineers to competently undertake maintenance work with the aim of improving or creating efficiencies in the equipment effectiveness. This began the importance of recognising reliability and the economic efficiency needed in manufacturing plant design. [...]... between Productive Maintenance and Total Productive Maintenance is in the name Productive Maintenance is built upon planning for failure of equipment, striving for zerodefective products and zero breakdowns This is done by planning and scheduling regular maintenance on equipment and prioritising maintenance tasks It is however a costly way of organising maintenance as it involves a dedicated maintenance. .. fulfil all maintenance jobs; it has been described as an “I operate-you fix” method 12 The shift to TPM rearranged this method and the Total in Total Productive Maintenance is what differentiates it The Total can be described in three meanings relevant to the theory 1 Total Effectiveness: Building a system that fully embodies the advantages and the concepts of Predictive and Productive Maintenance, ... model Maintenance initiatives have always played a major role in many manufacturing companies but to be truly successful in engineering it is a pre-requisite to fully understand what is meant by maintenance, what it entails, what it is trying to achieve and indeed how to get the best results TPM is a model that seeks to answer these questions, its long development is ongoing and to truly understand it‟s... and Productive Maintenance, achieving maximum profitability and economic efficiency 2 Total PM : Being able to establish a maintenance program that will be relevant and span the entire life cycle of the equipment, aiming towards maintenance free equipment, preventative maintenance so problems can be spotted and rectified before they occur and improvement in the maintainability of equipment i.e repairs... approaches and four reasons that people resist change the resistances they documented include: Self-interest: How the change affected them and not the business Misinterpretation: Poor communication or poor understanding of the up and coming changes Low Tolerance to Change: Those that are settled and sceptical to change Differing assessment of proposal: Some employees may think the old way is best changing...
