Design/methodology/approach To identify the main problems in maintenance operations and to compare them with those in manufacturing operations, a large amount of published...

...I.P.S. Ahuja; J.S. Khamba Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the contributions of successful TPM initiatives to competitive manufacturing. It also seeks to critically examine implications of strategic TPM implementation initiatives in Indian manufacturing organizations. Design...

...Vasanthakumar N. Bhat Maintenance expenditures represent more than net profits of several manufacturing companies. Maintenance costs are easy to reduce in a year simply by deferring maintenance activities. Examines maintenance expenditures of US chemical companies from 1975 to 1991. Uses...

...Nagen N. Nagarur; Jittra Kaewplang As the world approaches a new millennium, more and more industrial and manufacturing processes are being computerized and rapid retrieval and use of necessary information is vital if an organization is to remain competitive. The present work develops...

...C.J. Bamber; J.M. Sharp; M.T. Hides Modern manufacturing requires that to be successful organisations must be supported by both effective and efficient maintenance. One approach to improving the performance of maintenance activities is to implement and develop a total productive maintenance (TPM...

... available from literature. These concepts are considered for use in a specific case, i.e. a paint spraying robot in an automobile manufacturing plant, and it is decided to implement a RCM‐like approach. The original RCM concept is modified in order to better fit the specific needs in terms of technical...

... of the condition parameter can be used as an early diagnostic parameter. A possible screenplay of change of the stochastic process dispersion which describes the fluctuation parameter has been analyzed. Discusses an example of testing an organizing real manufacturing system according to the statistical...

...Roberto Cigolini; Francesco Turco Focuses on total productive maintenance (TPM) practices in Italy. Surveys a set of companies in manufacturing industry and where programme kick‐off only has been performed. Employs the most important findings of the survey to design and implement a new taxonomy...

...Patrik Jonsson Presents a model of five linked maintenance management components (strategy, human aspects, support mechanisms, tools/techniques and organization). Analyses the present status of these components in Swedish manufacturing firms through a survey of 284 respondents. Shows that fewer...

...Benjamin S. Blanchard Many systems in use today are not performing as intended, nor are they cost effective in terms of their operation and support. Manufacturing systems, in particular, often operate at less than full capacity, productivity is low, and the costs of producing products are high...
