TL;DR: The maintenance of a deteriorating system is often imperfect: the system after maintenance will not as good as new, but younger as discussed by the authors, which indicates a significant breakthrough in reliability and maintenance theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of TPM implementation practices adopted by the manufacturing organizations and highlight appropriate enablers and success factors for eliminating barriers in successful TPM implementations.
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and to present an overview of TPM implementation practices adopted by the manufacturing organizations. It also seeks to highlight appropriate enablers and success factors for eliminating barriers in successful TPM implementation.Design/methodology/approach – The paper systematically categorizes the published literature and then analyzes and reviews it methodically.Findings – The paper reveals the important issues in Total Productive Maintenance ranging from maintenance techniques, framework of TPM, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), TPM implementation practices, barriers and success factors in TPM implementation, etc. The contributions of strategic TPM programmes towards improving manufacturing competencies of the organizations have also been highlighted here.Practical implications – The literature on classification of Total Productive Maintenance has so far been very limited. The paper reviews a larg...

TL;DR: The fuzzy AHP method proposed in this paper is a simple and effective tool for tackling the uncertainty and imprecision associated with MCDM problems, which might prove beneficial for plant maintenance managers to define the optimum maintenance strategy for each piece of equipment.
