The financial approach to Total Production Maintenance.

This new edition emphasizes new techniques and strategies to Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) through the use of innovation and management after the pandemic to show effective communication and implementation of TPM techniques. Total Productive Maintenance: Strategies and Implementation Guide, Second Edition, presents step-by-step approaches to TPM integration with a clear direction from project infancy to completion. It discusses innovation and management through the use of TPM and offers empowerment and encouragement to associates so they feel more comfortable using TPM in everyday settings. The book is completely updated specifically with new case studies of implementing TPM after the pandemic, cultural change, and what that entails. The book is written for manufacturing engineers, reliability engineers, industrial engineers, operations managers, factory managers, project managers, supply chain managers, logistics, and can also be used as additional reading in the classroom.

A systematic approach to improving production and quality systems, total productive maintenance (TPM) involves all employees through a moderate investment in maintenance. Therefore, a successful TPM implementation requires support of all employees from C-level on down. Total Productive Maintenance: Strategies and Implementation Guide highlights the

This book present the state of the art in Total Productive Maintainance (TPM) and its benefits. The authors present a survey applied to 368 manufacturing industries in order to determine their level of execution of TPM. Then a series of causal models are presented. For each model, the authors present a measure of the dependency between the critical success factors and the benefits obtained, allowing industry managers to differentiate between essential and non-essential activities. The content also allows students and academics to obtain a theoretical and empirical basis on the importance of TPM as a lean manufacturing tool in the context of industry 4.0.

Rising costs, domestic and international competition, more demanding customers, increasingly complex machines require safe, uninterrupted operation, consistent quality, competitive pricing and timely deliveries. Most effective operation and maintenance of machines and equipment assumes far greater importance in this situation. While it is true that no one, including various levels of management and workers, want conflict, loss of time due to breakdowns, poor quality and accidents, these continue to occur. Top Management sometimes takes some initiatives like inviting consultants or getting people trained in specified areas. However, by and large the situation remains the same. The reason, therefore, is not lack of desire to do well. The fundamental malice is in the system of management. It is this aspect that this book tries to address while also discussing some basic principles of maintenance. It focuses on need and measures for enhancing effectiveness of the organization by evolving and implementing fundamental changes in managerial philosophy and practices. Choice of the title of the book is very deliberate. The whole approach discussed in the book is directed towards building a system and climate that would enable ensuring most effective operation and maintenance of capital equipment while also developing a collaborative and co-ordinated functioning of various wings and levels in the organization. Far too often, people concerned want and try to achieve results like no breakdowns, no rejects and no accidents quickly. This book attempts to convey to them that quick fixes and quick results are not possible and that concentrated and committed effort is required over a long period of time to create conditions and environment for results. It is in this context that while the book discusses various approaches to maintenance and describes some elementary techniques for planning, it lays emphasis on the need for a change in management thinking and on involvement of all from top to the lowest for achieving desired results.

Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Modern manufacturing requires that organisations that want to be successful and to achieve world-class manufacturing must posses both effective and efficient maintenance. One approach to improve the performance of maintenance activities is to implement a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) system. The aim of this dissertation is to prove that the introduction of a TPM system is by no means an easy task, because there are several barriers that encumber the implementation process, the driving forces to success have to be identified and well understood, and a process of organisational change has to be managed successfully. The study analyses impediments, barriers and obstacles to the implementation procedure and discovers key success factors concluding with a conceptual framework for a successful TPM implementation. The dissertation also examines the challenge of managing change within the TPM context and identifies that such a TPM journey requires employee and management commitment to be successful. Through a case study of implementing TPM in an automotive supplier company, the practical aspect within and beyond basic TPM theory and problems encountered during the implementation are discussed and analysed. The paper concludes that the implementation of TPM is definitely not an easy task, which is considerably burdened by organisational, behavioural and other barriers, and necessitates the difficult mission to change peoples mindsets from a traditional maintenance approach.

Through TPM, more companies accept the concept of Zero Breakdowns as achievable. Based on first hand experience, this is a practical guide to delivering TPM benefits, and world class performance.

The gas turbine is a power plant which produces a great amount of energy for its size and weight. This is a comprehensive treatment of gas turbines. The author discusses the design, fabrication, installation, operation and maintenance of gas turbines. He presents the necessary data, along with suggestions to assist engineers in obtaining optimum performance for any gas turbine, under all conditions. The intent of the work is to serve as a reference text after it has accomplished its primary objective of introducing the reader to the broad subject of gas turbines.
