Manufacturing companies are always looking for ways to outperform their competitors. They are constantly trying to improve their efficiency and reduce costs. One method that improves efficiency and maximises the availability of production equipment is total productive maintenance (TPM), which is a lean optimisation philosophy tool that focuses on the optimisation of maintenance. Although TPM is known for improving maintenance, there are many obstacles to its successful implementation. Failure to properly implement TPM can result in additional costs and lost time, and it can have a negative impact on employees. For these reasons, a survey was prepared and conducted among several companies, each involved in a different field of work and having a different number of employees. The main findings of this research are the key factors that can negatively impact the implementation of TPM and lean tools in general, as well as suggestions for improvements that can ensure their successful implementation and sustainability. An analysis was conducted based on the size of each company as well as the job roles within them. The study covers issues that may arise during the implementation of TPM and other lean tools at all levels of the hierarchy in an enterprise and provides guidance on how to manage situations that may prevent the successful application of TPM.

Purpose: This paper develops a ‘light’ total productive maintenance (TPM) model suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By design, the system is rudimentary, using a relatively small sum of capital investment and resources. The model recommends TPM implementation in three stages, namely plan, improve, and sustain.Design/methodology/approach: The literature review provides the inputs to the model development. Action research is used to demonstrate and verify the effectiveness and practicability of the framework, in an SME manufacturing hydraulic parts in China. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and awareness of employees were studied before and after the implementation. Findings: The case study shows a significantly improved production efficiency of the equipment. The framework structuralizes TPM deployment and binding different levels of the organization into the program, from planning, implementation to sustaining the practices. To break the barrier of shop-floor resistance, the leader must drive many activities unassisted, it, therefore, necessitates an open endorsement of authority by the steering committee composed of top management. The Prudent pilot run of TPM helped to accelerate the implementation at critical equipment, in addition to cultivating experience and hence confidence among staff.Research limitations/implications: This study provides a pragmatic reference to other researchers and practitioners to promote a light TPM model in SMEs, without losing the essence of TPM. Being action research with the case study in a specific manufacturing industry, the resultant evidence, therefore, is anecdotal.Originality/value: The model adopts a phased method to implement TPM, without aggravating the financial and human resource burden of the enterprise. It promotes the cultivation of employees’ TPM awareness and active involvement, which can lay a solid foundation for the wide implementation of TPM in SMEs.
