The study utilized both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, periodic plant visits and a Maintenance Department Analysis (MDA) tool for benchmarking and reviewing the company's maintenance status at one of their major depot facility major. The average score from the MDA obtained was 2.3 and showed potential areas to be improved when formulating the TPM strategy for the company. Other methods such as the ABC analysis for critical equipment identification were also used in this study, and key performance indicators data for calculating Availability Performance (AP) and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) were identified as well. The OEE was found to be 77% and a people focused model for TPM formulated with the purpose of increasing the OEE value to the target world class level of 85% as well as achieving the desired state.
