Implementing TPM supported by 5S to improve the availability of an automotive production line

Selecting the best tools and framework to evaluate equipment malfunctions and improve the OEE in the cork industry

“…This methodology, developed in Japan, introduces good habits related to the organization and cleanliness of the company, with the application of 5S to be considered as a prerequisite for the implementation of other improvement actions and as a basic step to eliminate waste [18,22]. According to Ribeiro et al [23], the use of 5S tools, supported by TPM, was very important to find the root cause of the existing high number of failures in one line's equipment.…”

An Investigation on Engine Mass Airflow Sensor Production via TQM, TPM, and Six Sigma Practices

“…Reviewing the literature, it can be noted that automotive component manufacturing research has been conducted relating to TQM [2,10]; TPM [11,12]; Six Sigma [13,15]; lean manufacturing system for engine control units (ECU) [16]; and human performance modelling for engine assembly [17]. Also, authors have produced research on manufacturing automotive systems [18][19][20][21][22], flow-rate sensors [23][24][25][26], amongst other industrial processes.…”

Remaining Useful Life (RUL) Prediction of Equipment in Production Lines Using Artificial Neural Networks

“…As such, the reduction of maintenance costs is considered a crucial and substantial advantage to the manufacturer in a highly competitive manufacturing sector, such as, for example, the semiconductor industry. In many industrial sectors such as automotive manufacturing, maintenance management is an explicit strategic issue to take necessary actions on time [ 6 , 7 ]. Fixing the production line after the breakdown can be more costly than conducting preventive maintenance ahead of the breakdown [ 8 , 9 ].…”
