Total Productive Maintenance

Abstract According to research, 15 to 40 percent of the total cost of production is allocated to the cost of repairs and maintenance is a key component of performance in industry. Establishment of this system with various goals such as increasing the availability and reliability of equipment, increasing the service level of spare parts warehouse, reducing maintenance costs, reducing the cost of capital sleep in warehouses, increasing the effectiveness of maintenance activities, etc. It is done and followed. The output of this program is a list of preventive and predictive repairs, redesigns and other failure management strategies that have been selected to manage equipment failures. Hence, any maintenance operation of machines has high costs, so it is very important to optimize the time of repairs and predict failure. One of the main and basic methods in the field of maintenance and repairs in organizations and factories is maintenance and repairs based on TPM process. This focuses on the repair process from one department to all parts of the organization. In this study, in order to implement the TPM system, the information of a small laboratory that works in the field of “wall mounted gas boiler” has been used. Two questionnaires are used to implement the TPM model. In the first questionnaire, the factors identified in the literature are provided to experts and after screening the results, the most important factors are identified which could be correct feasibility and determining and providing the necessary infrastructure and reviewing the existing conditions. In the second questionnaire, the final factors are provided to the experts and according to the dimensions of the problem, they are scored. As observed, in comparing the operational dimension factors, allocating sufficient resources to implement TPM and existence of appropriate performance scales, two important and influential factors have been identified for this option. Also, it is found that the management dimension factors have more impact than other operational and employee dimension factors, respectively. Keywords: TPM - Company Performance – Failure Prediction - Predictive Repairs - Preventive Maintenance.
