Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess TPM pillars for manufacturing performance improvement in the manufacturing organizations of Northern India and to identify critical and non-critical components based on failure history, to minimize machine downtime, maximize component/machine availability and to identify failure modes, their causes and effects of these failures on machines or components in the case company under study. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, TPM pillars in the paint manufacturing plant have been elaborated to ascertain the tangible and intangible benefits accrued as a result of successful TPM implementation. The approach has been directed toward justification of TPM implementation for its support to competitive manufacturing in the context of Indian manufacturing industries. Findings Findings suggest that maintenance planning is more effective than small improvements for achieving benefits from TPM pillars. Moreover, results indicated that critical components show average reliability and failure probability of about 50 percent. Originality/value The present study encompasses systematic identification of maintenance-related losses, setting up of targets regarding maintenance performance improvements and developing guidelines for achieving enhanced manufacturing system performance through strategic TPM implementation in the manufacturing plant, which can also be important to all concerned with maintenance in various manufacturing enterprises.

“…Superior manufacturing performance of a firm leads to competitiveness. National Engineering Industries (NEI), a medium-sized company in India, followed a focused approach in implementing total productive maintenance to remain competitive (Sardana and Sinha, 2010). Manufacturing organisations are facing challenges due to growing competition to sustain themselves.…”

“…Competitiveness is a major challenge before a company. Simply stated competitiveness of a firm refers to firstly management of capabilities to exploit its resources, competencies and knowledge and secondly to manage change with the overall objectives of adapting better and faster than competition (Sardana and Sinha, 2010). Significant contribution of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the nation's economy and its competitiveness can be enhanced by successful adoption of suitable advance manufacturing technologies (AMT) .…”

Abstract:The globalisation of markets, growth of customers' expectations, widening competition puts pressure on SMEs in India. To withstand with such issues and contend with large and global enterprises, SMEs need to implement inventive approaches in their operations. This study has empirically tested the effect of critical faults for machinery manufacturing such as equipment problem, procedure problem, personnel error, and design problem, training deficiency, and management problem, external phenomena and TPM pillars such as 5S, autonomous maintenance, continuous improvement (kaizen), planned maintenance, quality maintenance, education and training, safety, health environment control on SMEs in India. A survey was carried out on a sample of 473 manufacturing SMEs operating in the manufacture of machinery and equipment, packaging, automobile, chemical, food processing and metal processing in India. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 16 and scilab 5.3.3 is used to analyse data obtained. The hypotheses are tested and a generic model of FMEA and TPM is proposed for SMEs in India to improve their reliability and quality.Keywords: equipment problem; EP; procedure problem; PP; personnel error; design problem; DP; training deficiency; TD; management problem; MP; external phenomena; EXP; TPM pillars; SMEs India.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Waghmare, S.N., Raut, D.N., Mahajan, S.K. and Bhamare, S.S.

“…Currently, the production or processing companies define their business strategies and competitive priorities based on several factors related to their production systems, such as productivity, flexibility and quality, aiming for the reduction or elimination of waste. As a result, maintenance plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability and reliability of facilities (Muchiri et al, 2011, Karamouzian et al,2014 ).In recent years the maintenance has being recognised as contributing to company profitability and competitiveness (Sardana and Sinha, 2011;Singh et al, 2012;Ingwald and Basim Al-Najjar, 2012;Eslami et al, 2014). Increasingly, companies are made aware of the critical need to implement policies to maintain appropriate facilities and equipment [Alsyouf, 2009;Sharma et al,2012].…”

This paper intends to highlight the importance of the maintenance activity for all kind of companies in general and for the water treatment companies in particular. To attain this objective a literature review on the evolution of the maintenance concept, the relation between the production function and the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and the factors that influence the success of TPM is performed. To demonstrate the contribution of the maintenance activity for the improvement of the performance of companies especially for the water treatment companies a case study of a Portuguese company belonging to the water treatment sector is performed. The case study company is considered important for the water treatment sector since it has an annual capacity of treatment and distribution of 41 million m 3 of drinking water to approximately 438,000 inhabitants spread over a geographic area that represents 15% of the Portuguese territory. Thus, the analysis of the case study company, named as Water Company, aims to demonstrate the importance of the implementation of an adequate management and deployment of appropriate maintenance activities, mainly the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), which seek to promote organisational synergies, corporate sustainability and success in the investment plan currently in force in this Portuguese sector.
