“…Strategy established to increase the efficiency of the equipment, seeking to minimize failures and improve both the human and material element [13]. Managers stipulate that machinery must be ready to work at any time, therefore, this tool takes a very important role within the manufacturing industry, since this will avoid delays in Set-up times and equipment maintenance, in addition, with its application occupational accidents can be reduced [14]. Previous studies applied TPM to avoid failures in their machines, training personnel in maintenance techniques and thus not making mistakes, which led to an increase in machine efficiency by 47.56% [11].…”

The non-alcoholic beverage industry, such as bottled water, is one of the largest industries in which the process is carried out at the lowest cost, but with the highest quality in the final product. This sector has a significant impact on the world economy, and consumption per person is constantly growing. This research focuses on the improvement of delivery times through Lean Manufacturing tools. The model makes use of tools such as 5S’ to create and maintain a more efficient and productive space, improve overall equipment efficiency through Total Productive Maintenance, and optimize material and operator movements by eliminating unnecessary ones using Standard Work, from that were positive indicators for management. For the validation of our proposal, an integrating model of the pilot plans was carried out in order to corroborate the efficiency of the proposed tools using the Arena software. By validating the proposed model, it was possible to reduce the rate of products delivered out of time by 37.82%, increase the OEE of the machine by 16% and reduce cycle times.

A Review of Sustainable Total Productive Maintenance (STPM)

Sustainable Total Productive Maintenance (STPM) arose in 2021 as a promising, new concept to fill the lack of sustainability in Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and allow companies to overcome its implementation barriers. It revolves around increasing the understanding of the systems approach and contributing to setting contemporary companies’ sustainable ideology by supporting orientation toward sustainability from a sustainable maintenance perspective. However, STPM is still in its infancy and is viewed as a complement to the traditional TPM approach and is based on its pillars. Moreover, there is still a dearth of literature discussing STPM. This study aims to present STPM as a novel substitute for TPM while building its unique mechanism based on re-engineered fourth generation management (R4thGM). To pursue such a goal, 94 papers from Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct databases published in 2008–2023 were reviewed. This study’s novelty comes from presenting STPM as the best-suited lean manufacturing and sustainability strategy for enhancing sustainable maintenance, encouraging contemporary maintenance (i.e., Industry 4.0 technology-based sustainable maintenance), and supporting second-era contemporary companies’ orientation toward sustainability. Furthermore, based on recent studies, propositions are formulated to achieve STPM. Finally, research implications and future directions are presented.

“…In the era of the global market, manufacturing companies face various problems such as resource waste, material shortages, pollution, and environmental impact, which affect the cost of production [ 1 ]. To solve these problems, companies apply the lean manufacturing (LM) philosophy, which is a system of industrial work organization focused on improving the production system by eliminating activities that do not add value to the process or to the customer, including overproduction, long lead times, and product defect rate [ 2 ].…”

“…In the same way, some studies analyze some relationships of specific LM tools with ESU, such as TPM, TQM, and Jidoka [ 2 ], SMED [ 8 ], to name a few. However, many of the studies are very general when talking about the relationship between LM and others very specific, without focusing on a group of tools in one pillar in this production philosophy.…”

“…Different studies have been found regarding the LM tools in different work environments in the MMI, like SMED [ 17 ] and TPM [ 2 ]; however, those studies are analyzing the LM tool in isolated, and no studies have been found that relate and measure the effect of TPM, OEE, QS, and OPF on the economic sustainability. However, TPM is associated with ESU, as parts produced on poorly calibrated machines represent economic losses [ 19 , 20 ], as well as SMED, which represents idle machines [ 21 ] and material flow [ 8 ].…”

Traditionally, the isolated relationship of total preventive maintenance (TPM), quick setup (QS), overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and one-piece flow (OPF) with economic sustainability (ESU) has been investigated; however, these lean manufacturing (LM) tools are implemented together into production systems, and traditional research does not report their relationships and interactions. To contribute to this gap, this paper integrates all those variables in a structural equation model (SEM), which are related by seven hypotheses that are validated using the partial least squares (PLS) technique using information from 176 responses to a questionnaire applied to the Mexican maquiladora industry. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis has been carried out to determine the probability of occurrence at high and low implementation levels for all variables when they occur in isolation, jointly and conditionally. Findings indicate that TPM is a precursor of QS and OEE, while QS is a precursor of OEE and OPF, OEE is a precursor of OPF and ESU, but also OPF is a precursor of ESU. The sensitivity analysis indicates that low levels of TPM are a risk for reaching adequate levels of OEE and QC, while low levels in OEE and OPF are a risk for reaching adequate ESU levels.
