A Proposed Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Tool for Lean Dashboard, Statistics and Performance Efficiency in Malaysian Modern Manufacturer

Abstract

The development of manufacturing industries in Malaysia has started more than 50 years ago. Nonetheless, after more than 50 years Malaysian manufacturing has been established, the issues of maintenance, safety, quality, cost, and performance efficiency still receive criticism, complaints, and various suggested approach to improve their product quality, operation management, and customer satisfaction. As a result, in order to improve the quality of manufacturing industries, Malaysian government has supported and encourage for develop total solution especially for quality improvement, increase safety and setup low cost for productive maintenance. Thus, to help the Malaysian manufacturer to achieve national agenda, further Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) tool essential. Recently, manufacturing companies are moving toward maintenance engineering practices, lean dashboard methodology process, statistical engineering solution, audit quality maintenance control and performance efficiency improvement; lower cost of production, cheaper maintenance cost , just in time (JIT) operation deliveries, eliminate of waste in any aspect of its operations and finally produce high quality product and better service to customer compared to competitors. The objectives of this research is to develop propose TPM tool as an important catalyst for continually seek better maintenance performance and in turn against competitive advantage. By implementing prototype of TPM system, modern manufacturing companies will eliminate waste in operation activities such as to reduce maintenance cost, reduce time monitoring and control's, reduce defect, to reduce lead time, and reduce variation process and also improve quality product and good service for customer satisfaction.

A Systematic Literature Review of Total Productive Maintenance On Industries

“…Various approaches are suggested to obtain good operations management in order to achieve customer satisfaction. The Malaysian government continues to encourage industrial manufacturing activities to improve quality with total solutions in improving safety, quality, low-cost operation management and productive maintenance (Habidin et al, 2017). The Total Productive Maintenance approach is one of the effective operating strategies to reduce production losses caused by breakdowns of equipment and various other types of downtime.…”
