A STUDY ON TOTAL PRODUCTIVITY MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS IN MAHINDRA LOGISTICS AT SALEM
The purpose of this study is to examine the advantages of effective total productive maintenance (TPM) programs in competitive manufacturing.Additionally, it looks extensively at how key TPM implementation projects affect an Indian logistics organization. A recently developed method for maintaining machinery and plants is called Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). Implementing the Pillar activities to address breakdown concerns in the industrial sector is the main focus of this study. The logistics industry, where the research is being conducted, is currently having trouble setting up particular machining operations at their facility and keeping it up to date to minimize downtime caused by maintenance. The strategy seeks to determine the fundamental cause of the problems that result in maintenance challenges within the logistics sector of the Indian industry. In the course of this work, the maintenance problem is addressed through the execution of root cause analysis (RCA) on the factors contributing to the increase in downtime. A crucial aspect of this research involves the integration of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) principles into project-oriented businesses. The study highlights the manner in which well-planned TPM initiatives enhance organizational performance and underscores the importance of effective TPM program management in initiating long-term maintenance improvement projects. The application of root cause analysis and TPM techniques can reduce maintenance issues by 50%.
