“…Focus maintenance or Kobetsu Kaizen underlines kaizen projects to identify and eliminate the major losses (Shinde & Prasad, 2017). Dave and Sohani (2015) reduced electronic breakdown frequency of hobbing machine through focused maintenance. Joochim and Meekaew (2016) introduced AM and focused maintenance in producing aluminium stranded conductors, and reduced equipment downtime and increased OEE.…”

Purpose: This paper develops a ‘light’ total productive maintenance (TPM) model suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By design, the system is rudimentary, using a relatively small sum of capital investment and resources. The model recommends TPM implementation in three stages, namely plan, improve, and sustain.Design/methodology/approach: The literature review provides the inputs to the model development. Action research is used to demonstrate and verify the effectiveness and practicability of the framework, in an SME manufacturing hydraulic parts in China. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and awareness of employees were studied before and after the implementation. Findings: The case study shows a significantly improved production efficiency of the equipment. The framework structuralizes TPM deployment and binding different levels of the organization into the program, from planning, implementation to sustaining the practices. To break the barrier of shop-floor resistance, the leader must drive many activities unassisted, it, therefore, necessitates an open endorsement of authority by the steering committee composed of top management. The Prudent pilot run of TPM helped to accelerate the implementation at critical equipment, in addition to cultivating experience and hence confidence among staff.Research limitations/implications: This study provides a pragmatic reference to other researchers and practitioners to promote a light TPM model in SMEs, without losing the essence of TPM. Being action research with the case study in a specific manufacturing industry, the resultant evidence, therefore, is anecdotal.Originality/value: The model adopts a phased method to implement TPM, without aggravating the financial and human resource burden of the enterprise. It promotes the cultivation of employees’ TPM awareness and active involvement, which can lay a solid foundation for the wide implementation of TPM in SMEs.

Kaizen applications, which are expressed as small improvements in business processes, are among the most effective of quality improvement studies. Within the scope of this study, first, a comprehensive literature review was carried out and Kaizen method and its classification scheme was examined in detail. Then, a major Kaizen application, which is more comprehensive compared to prior Kaizen studies, yet, which can be performed in a shorter amount of time compared to Six Sigma implementations, has been realized and its effectiveness has been examined. For this purpose, major Kaizen techniques are applied in an automotive company to determine the causes of defects in the production process of a specified sheet metal and to realize the process improvement by reducing these defects. For the purpose of the study, first defect definitions were made for the general process and Pareto analysis was performed for these defects. Then, the production and measurement processes of the metal part were examined in detail, and process capability indices were calculated according to the measurement results for all control points of the metal part, and the critical control points were determined and these points were focused on for improvement. After the current situation analysis, a fishbone diagram was formed, Gemba analyses and hypothesis tests were performed, counter measures were planned and a prioritization matrix was created and improvement suggestions were presented and implemented. Improvements were made and
