Abstract:
Current trends in many Industries is to shift from
traditional maintenance methods to implementing Total
Productive Maintenance (TPM Its ultimate goal is to increase
reliability and availability and the way to accomplish it is
through elimination of major losses; resulting from mechanical
nature that are visualized by the Overall Equipment
Effectiveness (OEE) tree. The main Key performance indicators
for this research are; OEE, Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF),
Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) and Breakdown Percentage.
Therefore, this paper provides a review of the available
approaches for lean-TPM implementation in industry, with
specific emphasis on breakdown reduction. The gains in
productivity or effectiveness were achieved only through
measures in TPM, mainly the Preventive Maintenance (PM)
pillar, and not harder labor. The approaches used in achieving
these goals included; Autonomous maintenance, Continuous
improvement, Root cause analysis for failure, Preventive
maintenance among others
