“…An analysis of the evolution of the use of the term "World Class Eliminating duplicates and considering only articles with the term "World Class Manufacturing" in their titles, Table 2 presents the relationship between academic researches and the model that has been widely used in the Industry: The analysis of the selected works shows that within the WCM approach there is still too much focus on broad conceptual aspects and basic methods and tools, such as Total Quality Process (TQP), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Just-in-Time (JIT), originated from the Toyota Production System, often not making clear the distinctions between WCM and Lean Manufacturing, since both have the TPS as the main reference (HAYES; WHEELWRIGHT, 1984;SCHONBERGER, 1986;SANGWAN, 2011;MUTHUKUMAR et al, 2014;CHIARINI;VAGNONI, 2015).…”

“…According to Muthukumar et al (2014), for more than 40 years the Industry around the world has adopted tools and techniques of continuous improvement to perfect its operations, becoming more competitive. The continuous and simultaneous improvement of production processes and management methods are also pointed out by Gajdzik (2013b) as key factors for the success of a company in the market, because the competitive advantage is a consequence of low cost and high efficiency.…”

“…The WCM originates from techniques and production tools that aim to reduce waste, increase quality and production, and improve logistics flow, among other benefits. Many of these techniques originated in the Toyota Production System (TPS) (HAYES; WHEELWRIGHT, 1984;SCHONBERGER, 1986;SANGWAN, 2011;MUTHUKUMAR et al, 2014;CHIARINI;VAGNONI, 2015).…”

This paper presents the partial results of an ongoing research on the proposal of a methodology for the integration between Knowledge Management (KM) and World Class Manufacturing (WCM). The initial investigation of theoretical and conceptual nature aimed at developing a comprehensive and current vision on KM, WCM, and how (or "whether") these constructs relate to one another. The primary sources for the literature review were Web of Science, Scopus, Emerald, Ebsco, SciELO and Spell, and the time frame was 2000 to 2016. The analysis of the selected papers showed that, although the initial WCM model evolved into a "new WCM" in the 2000s, the literature is still focused on the broad conceptual aspects and basic methods and tools, such as Total Quality Process, Total Productive Maintenance and Just-in-Time, conceived in the Toyota Production System, which shows the need for more studies focused on the current scenario of companies associated with the "new WCM" and its Methods and Tools. Only one article explicitly addressing the interaction between KM theories with WCM was found in the databases surveyed, thus reinforcing the lack of theoretical approximation of these constructs.

Purpose – World-class total productive maintenance (TPM) status depends on critical success factors (CSF) to be properly implemented. The relevant literature has identified several CSF; however, researchers have not investigated the degree of importance of each phase of the process. The purpose of this paper is to prioritize the CSFs that influence TPM implementation during each phase of the process in order to aid decision making in companies. Design/methodology/approach – The main CSF are identified from a literature review. This paper focusses on the judgments of managers who are experts in TPM implementation in companies which have received TPM awards for excellence. The judgments are processed using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. Three aggregation methods (geometric mean, Copeland and fuzzy) are employed for comparative analysis. Findings – Although the literature highlights some important CSF, the relevance of these factors is not the same in each phase of TPM implementation. Analysis shows that ranking using the Copeland method is most coherent. Research limitations/implications – This research was carried out in some Brazilian companies. Practical implications – If managers are aware of the CSF to be prioritized in each phase, this facilitates decision making, resulting in a more effective implementation of TPM. Social implications – If TPM implementation is effective, this stimulates the personnel involved and avoids the possibility of the program being abandoned. Originality/value – The originality of this paper consists in the proposed model to prioritize CSF during each phase of the implementation of TPM.

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.
