Abstract
Plant maintenance is the complete management of machines and equipment within the factory. It can involve prevention of machine breakdowns thorough machine lubrication, identifying small faults and replacement of outdated machines. Through the use of plant and equipment maintenance in production, this can lead to high quality products, increased production speed and the overall improvement of the performance of the plant. The implementation of Total Productive Maintenance has to do with making operators involved with maintaining their own equipment and making sure preventive and proactive maintenance will build a foundation for enhanced production (less breakdowns, stoppages and defects). Improvements in Cost reduction as well as cost reduction in total labour results from maximum utilization of maintenance resources. Total Quality Management which has to with monitoring and enhancing production and service quality, it emphasizes increase in product efficiency hence low-cost quality production.
