ABSTRACT
Now a day’s industries in Pakistan are facing maintenance challenges as more and more
industries are growing and competition between them are also increasing that necessitate
demand of more production in limited time which results in facing major breakdowns and
losses in many sectors. The solution to this is implementation of proper system by using
the total productive maintenance (TPM) approach. Total productive maintenance is the
theory in which involvement of management and complete participation of the workers
are required. Its emphases on continuous improvement of management, workforce and
equipment. TPM not only improves equipment effectiveness with an emphasis on
proactive and preventative maintenance (by making regular reports and feedbacks of the
equipment), it also manages lead time frontier, lean management, commitment and
involvement of management and workers. Planning and structuring will improve the
overall effectiveness of the facility by eliminating the waste of time and resources.

CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Routine and preventative maintenance models are helpful in alleviating downtime and
boosting complete production. The very useful and famous tool or method is Total
Productive Maintenance (TPM).
1.1 Background
Total Productive Maintenance or TPM is a program which include new concepts for
equipment and plants maintenance. The objective of program is to remarkably increase
the production level simultaneously increase the morale and job satisfaction among
employees. The program of TPM resemble closely with the program of TQM (Total
Quality Management). Most of the tools are same like employee empowerment,
documentation, benchmarking is used for optimizing and implementing TPM. TPM will
be defined in this paper in depth, strengths and weaknesses will be evaluated as
maintenance philosophy and implementations of the process will be discusses. Examples
will be presented of successful programs.
12
`
TQM is the source of evaluation of TPM, which was developed by the result of Dr. W.
Edwards Deming’s impact on Japanese industry. Dr. Deming started working in Japan
right after the World War II. He was a statistician and initially started to demonstrate
Japanese about use of statistical tools and analysis, in manufacturing process and the use
of results for controlling quality during the process of manufacturing. The basic
procedures of statistics and the outcome of consequences of quality control fueled by
work ethics in Japan soon consider as life for Japanese industry. This new concept of
manufacturing eventually refers as TQM (Total Quality Management).
When the issues of maintenance of plant were examined as part of the program of TQM,
some common concepts were not considered as appropriate or goes well in the
environment of maintenance. (PM) Preventative Maintenance process is in consideration
from so long and it was practiced in many plants. Using these techniques, designs for
scheduling maintenance were developed to keep machines in operation. However, this
approach or techniques mostly resulted in over serviced of machines in order to make
attempts form improvement in production. The thinking was “if a little oil is good, a lot
should be better”. Maintenance of manufacturers scheduled needed to be followed to the
extent of some thought as realistic need of machine. There was no or little involvement of
13
`
the operator of machine in maintenance program and personnel had training beyond the
inadequacy of the contained manuals of maintenance.
There was a need to move further than maintenance schedules according to the
recommendations of manufacturers as an improvement method for quality of products
and productivity and these were recognized by many companies quickly which were
committed with programs of TQM. For solving this problem and remain with concepts of
TQM, there were modifications in the original concepts. This helps in raising the status of
maintenance as an integral part for the quality program.
The term Total Productive Maintenance origin is disputed. Some people think that it was
first developed forty years ago by an American manufacturer. However, some consider
its origin’s contribution to maintenance program which were used in late 1960 by
Nippondenso, who was a Japanese manufacturer in automotive industry of electrical
parts. An officer Seiichi Nakajima, in Institute of Plant Maintenance of Japan, credited by
defining the TPM concepts and saw it being implemented in over hundreds of Japanese
plants[CITATION Lea \l 1033 ].
14
`
15
`
TPM developed in Japan, with the complete group of lean manufacturing system. Japan
Institute of Plant Maintenance (JIPM), established in 1961, under various unveiled and
moniker the concepts of TPM many years later. Nippondenso, the Japan based
automotive supplier is acknowledged for utilizing this process first time, and JIPM’s
Seiichi Nakajima developed eight pillars of management, because of which TPM is
popular [ CITATION Man \l 1033 ].As the maintenance is considered traditionally nonprofit
and inevitable function, TPM is taken as the difficult lean manufacturing process to be
implemented. Shifting beliefs on cultural base in facility by CEO to janitors and
machinists, might take time, but payoff for morale of employee and finished product is
worthy for investment.
Most of the processes of industrial production are carried with the help of machines,
which results in production-oriented companies getting dependent on machineries.
16
`
TPM (Total Productive Management) is an approach for improving and maintaining the
quality systems and productions’ integrity via equipment, machines, supporting processes
and employees. TPM main target is to bring improvement in the core processes of
business and it can be considered of great value. Japan based company Denso first used
the phrase TPM in 1961.
TPM consider machinery as the heart of the company and it does not only continuously
prevent the production but also improve it in case of need required. It focuses on the
improvement of productivity and main objective is to maximize the availability of
machine.
The beginning point of TPM is based on the responsibility of everyone for daily
maintenance of machines. Participation of employees for proposal improvement and
maintenance are the main features among TPM, to help them in jointly improving the
step by step efficiency of machine. Therefore, maintenance also referred as
improvement. Purchases of machines are done for the particular intention. After which, it
could be possible to eliminate or expose the invisible defects in machine.

CHAPTER 2
Literature Review
Due to increase in competition, fast production is required, which result in unexpected
breakdowns due to which unexpected timings of required products occurs and it totally
hitches the production plans. For this proper maintenance plan is required, which will
increase production quantity and production diversity under customer required conditions
Productivity, cost and quality are also the main factors to be balanced for this approach.
Implementation of maintenance management and lean manufacturing techniques will
give more productive but it will require top management involvement and employee
motivation. As total maintenance production can be easily be described by:
In total production maintenance, Total means
● Total efficiency
● Total life cycle of production system
● Total manpower coverage
● Productive means productivity maximization by:
● Zero accident
● Zero defect
● Zero break down
Maintenance covers life cycle of production system:
● Individual processes
● Plants
● Production management system.
Maintenance management play crucial role in total productive maintenance. Maintenance
costs can be saved which will ensure increase in competitive power .It aims to provide
continuity by reducing the halts in machines, along with to reduce the production cost, to
increase the capacity utilization rate, to reduce maintenance and repair cost, to increase
yield and the product quality, to ensure the safety of staff, and. to extend the useful life of
machinery and equipment [CITATION Seh15 \l 1033 ].
19
`
v. Quality maintenance
More effective approach is used rather than traditional one, according to which total
productive maintenance is effective only when top management to employee all works
together as a team, all fulfils this individual responsibility. Most important approach
maintenance is done by operators that dynamically work in manufacturing. In this
technique obtained ore (overall resource effectiveness) is compared with standard ore
(overall resource effectiveness), from which maintenance efficiencies are measured and it
will prevent cost by less mistakes, accidents, breakdowns. Manufacturing unit will be
effective and efficient, if compared effective performance measures are improved
[CITATION Meh15 \l 1033 ].
Maintenance actions should always be considered first as the main potential area rather
than some separate and isolated function that only make repairs [CITATION Bup \l 1033 ].
20
`
i. Pareto chart,
For the benchmarking world class technique has been used to compare and to measure
business processes in which when adopted may lead to better performance. In this paper,
benchmarking study conducted for automotive sector of Pakistan for two important
aspects that is maintenance organization and its scheduling that suggest that some major
steps should be taken to improve practices of maintenance which will in the end
ultimately support manufacturing sustainability on a technological basis[CITATION Jav16 \l
1033 ].
Associate Rule Mining (ARM) technique is used to compute the relationship between
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) measurable indicators, with the response of
action required to take in a certain condition of the utilization of machine [CITATION
Tau15 \l 1033 ].
World class manufacturing (WCM) is that of total productive maintenance (TPM), linked
to both total quality management (TQM) and the concepts of continuous flow
manufacturing. Thus, the value associated big losses were also identified. For which total
effective equipment productivity calculation is used along with net equipment
effectiveness (NEE) which provide more accurate analysis[CITATION GCh00 \l 1033 ].
21
`
Visual Management based schemes build a stable process which provides primary
successes with using lean tools such as 5s and TPM. For tool room redesign
demonstration 5s scheme is used while it is not limited to just production but it covers
whole manufacturing facility[CITATION Geo11 \l 1033 ].
In order to avoid unexpected failure during use preventive maintenance involves repair,
replacement and maintenance of equipment. It eliminates the six big losses; setup and
adjustment losses, idling and minor stoppages losses, time loses, lowering machine
operational speed losses, scrap and rework losses and production startup losses [CITATION
Isl12 \l 1033 ].
Performance indicators are meaningless in isolation, but should be the result of a proper
analysis of the collaboration of the maintenance function with other organizational
functions, most evident with the production function. In this paper, an abstract framework
that provide guidelines for choosing maintenance function performance indicators is
proposed. It pursues to bring into line maintenance objectives with manufacturing and
corporate objectives, and provides a link between the maintenance objectives,
process/efforts of maintenance and maintenance results [CITATION Pet11 \l 1033 ].
Data Mining will identify behavior patterns, allowing a more accurate early detection of
faults in machines. The remote data collection is based on an intricate system of
distributed agents, which, given its nature, will be responsible for remote data collection
through the functional architecture. Corporation’s yield and store endless and complex
quantities of data of different nature, increasing the difficulty of use in real time. In this
sense, considering the relevance of data collected on industrial plants, namely in its
maintenance activities, it is to present a functional architecture of a predictive
maintenance system, using data mining techniques on data gathered from manufacturing
units globally dispersed[CITATION PBa12 \l 1033 ].
ISM (Interpretive structural modeling) is used to study the inhibitors of TPM. In this
approach, the model is designed to establish the relationship between different TPM
inhibitors elements and to cultivate an action plan to mitigate these factors [CITATION
Pra14 \l 1033 ].
22
`
The comparative report based on researcher’s analysis for TPM shows that SMEs (small
and medium enterprises) are lacking to adopt improvement philosophies, especially in
India, if it continues like this, the sustained survival of these industries in the future will
be very difficult in this competitive environment[CITATION Abh14 \l 1033 ].
To develop and evaluate new performance measures oriented towards the quantification
of total productive maintenance. For evaluation of these performance measures nominal
group technique is used, after that it is determined if that measures are statistically
significant, conjoint analysis based experimental designed is made functional. In the
second step, Complex proportional assessment of alternatives with Grey relations
(COPRAS-G) and the fuzzy COPRAS method has been developed to evaluate these
performance measures. Proposed fuzzy COPRAS method gives the reassuring results of
ranking newly developed performance measures in TPM[CITATION Ebr16 \l 1033 ].
Human oriented and process-oriented strategy has been identified a major target
achieving factor for implementation of TPM in manufacturing sector. Different check
sheets, point lesson, empirical and comprehensive approach towards the methodology
results the proper implementation of TPM[CITATION Dee14 \l 1033 ].
Graph theoretic approach is used to identify and categories barriers in the implementation
of TPM. Develop a mathematical model of these identified barriers using this approach
and to suggest a single numerical index representing the hindering strength of
barriers[CITATION Raj13 \l 1033 ].
For improving productivity in the bottle neck of an auto parts machining line ,specific
maintenance indicators are achieved that is MTBF (mean time between failure): 87.6 h
(42.1 h before), an improvement of 108% & MTTR (mean time to repair): 3.0 h (4.3 h
23
`
Aforesaid articles provide the information regarding different techniques for different
industries and processes for the system to be upgraded and updated properly. The
researcher has implemented all techniques, making sure to have a proficient and
upgraded system for a company, which is not limited to improved and updated feedback
process and report writing.
24

CHAPTER 3
Methodology
Different methods are used to collect primary data. The choice of a method depends on
the purpose of study, as my purpose of study is to implement the total productive
maintenance in private industry.
As it is the case of survey the author has used questionnaire designing technique to
collect primary data. Advantages of questionnaire design are:
As there is no face to face interaction between respondent and interviewer, this method
provides greater anonymity. In some situation where, sensitive questions are asked it
helps to increase the likelihood of obtaining accurate information.
Not much time is consumed as questions are just answered in some rated scale format.
3.1 QUESTIONNAIRE
Questionnaire is the type of field research, in which list of questions are typed or written
in order to record answers by the respondent. Instructions are mentioned on the
questionnaire with its main subject and sub sets, respondents read carefully the questions
and answer it. Then answers are read and interpreted and analysis is made
accordingly[ CITATION CRK \l 1033 ].
25
`
Before using this method, it is good to have a pilot survey. It is much like duplicate of the
main survey and it can be seen as rehearsal. It is conducted by experts which tells the
faults, if any, in the questionnaire. By this experience, improvements or changes can be
done, if required.
3.1.1 5S
Concept: Filth or things which hinders the machine working should not be there.
Question7: Machines or components are dirt and dust free.
26
`
Concept: To imply that standard, there should be some system to check it.
Question9: Inspection of implementation of standards is done.
Concept: To sustain the 5s, there should be system for taking notes of what’s going
wrong.
Question11: Feedback and suggestion system is present.
27
`
Question20: Records for field complaints, customer end line rejection data are present.
28
`
Concept: In case of any incident, proper signs should be present to evacuate that place.

CHAPTER 4
Data Analysis
For analysis of data of total productive maintenance questionnaire, IBM SPSS
Statistics is used. Its main purpose is to process data, analyze it and interpret it. The
software name originally stood for Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).
SPSS Statistics is a software package used for logical batched and non-batched statistical
analysis. Long produced by SPSS Inc., it was acquired by IBM in 2009. The current
versions (2015) are officially named IBM SPSS Statistics[ CITATION SPS \l 1033 ].
Now, it comes to how the data is entered. SPSS is design to have two views i.e. SPSS
In data view, each row is subjected to different cases while each column is associated
with different variable. In variable view window; it contains names, type, decimal, width,
label, value, measure and role.
33
`
Name only takes special character, Label can take any type of character and measure is of
4 types: ordinal, nominal, interval and ratio.
(i)Nominal:
Nominal scales are used for labeling variables, without any quantitative value. Nominal
scales are also known as labels. It can be seen by examples, notice that all of these scales
are mutually exclusive (no overlap) and none of them have any numerical significance.
(ii)Ordinal:
Ordinal scales, it is the order of the values i.e. what’s important and significant, but the
differences between each one is not really known. Ordinal scales are typically measuring
of non-numeric concepts like satisfaction, happiness, discomfort, etc.
(iii) Interval:
34
`
Intervals are adjusted in terms of some rule that has been established as a basis for
making the units equal. The units are equal only in so far as one accepts the assumptions
on which the rule is based.
It has arbitrary zero also known as unique origin or absolute zero. The primary limitation
of the interval scale is the lack of a true zero; it does not have the capacity to measure the
complete absence of a trait or characteristic. The Fahrenheit scale is an example of an
interval scale.
(iv) Ratio:
Ratio scales have an absolute or true zero of measurement. Ratio scale represents the
actual amounts of variables. Multiplication and division can be used in this scale.
For example, the zero point on a centimeter scale indicates the complete absence of
length or height. But an absolute zero of temperature is theoretically unobtainable and it
remains a concept existing only in the scientist’s mind.
According to the questionnaire, section and question asked parts are nominal while rating
scale is ordinal. As it can be seen in SPSS Rows and Columns as below, there are 11
columns filled and 30 rows filled. Columns show 11 different section of the private
company while the rows show the questions being asked in the questionnaire.
35
`
36
`
As below, SPSS Rating Scale shows the rating scale from strongly agree to strongly
disagree:

CONCLUSION
In a private company Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is successfully implemented
by using 8 pillars. A proper survey is conducted, data is analyzed carefully and pillars are
executed accordingly. It is being observed that production quality and quantity has be
improved. The pillars of total productive maintenance which are implemented are as
under:
● TPM increased the level of productivity in the company by considering minor
downfalls.
● An understandable culture of the business is developed and committed towards
continuous improvement in the efficiency of the total production system.
● A business company which has systematic and standardized strategies where losses
are prevented and known, Company has established a method for keeping the record
in consistent use.
● Every production department influence the productivity and involved in moving
from reactive mindset to predictive.
● Management understands the concept behind TPM and that it would take effort,
dedication and time to get fruitful results.
Challenge during implementing TPM was decision making by managers. As
management’s commitment and rapid response matters a lot in a manufacturing facility.
To implement and maintain TPM, dedication and system management is required by the
staff.

RECOMMENDATIONS
It is necessary that every individual from worker to top-management level, make certain
efforts for improving overall production. This could be achieved by establishing small
size multi-disciplinary team. It could be obtained by providing attention to the preventive
and autonomous maintenance, employees’ training, standardization and security of
processes of work. Aim is zero mistakes, zero working accidents and zero losses. By
using these teams, improvement will be seen because it focuses in efficiently and
effectively using means of production. Their objective is to involve all departments.
For health, safety and environment pillar, health and safety policy should be present in
each section. If any employee has any issues regarding health and environment, they can
refer to that easily. For more ease, health safety clauses should also be included in job
description (i.e. proper management of risk factors, infection control, smoking
environment).
In 5S pillar (sort, systematic, shine the workplace, standardize, self-discipline) for
standardization point (i.e. Standards for keeping the workplace sorted, simplified and
clean is made compulsory for all employees) following measures should be taken.
Standards will keep track if all the 3S (Sort, set in order, shine (Cleanliness)) is being
implemented in different sections of the company or not: Those standards are as under:
(1) Check list for each task i.e. Items should be placed in order and cleanliness is
designed for each separate section. It should be marked on daily basis.
(2) Updated reports should be written monthly (which task is not done or which task
needs improvement).
