Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Industrial Applications: A Review Article

Abstract

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is often perceived as an approach exclusive to large corporations, but in reality, it is a cultural practice that extends from household maintenance to industrial applications. This methodology ensures the availability of equipment, significantly impacting lean manufacturing by promoting autonomous, preventive, and planned maintenance strategies. TPM implementation fosters efficiency, cost savings, and organizational synergy, aligning with continuous improvement principles. Companies adopting this methodology benefit from structured maintenance plans, leadership development, and personnel involvement, leading to enhanced productivity and long-term competitiveness.
