Abstract

This study examines the impact of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) implementation on an organization in terms of productivity and quality levels. The human resource aspect was investigated to assess motivation of operators through training to reduce set up times, change over stoppages, defects rate and resource wastage on the shop floor. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) implementation case study was evaluated in addressing these short comings in a confectionary manufacturing plant.
