An assessment of key performance indicators and its relationship for implementation of total productive maintenance in manufacturing sector

This article focuses on empirical assessment of key performance indicators (KPIs) of total productive maintenance (TPM). It provides the implementation guidelines and facilitates measuring impact and support for business excellence in the manufacturing sector. The present study examines the current state of TPM and, identifies the key areas for TPM adoption using an analytical hierarchical process in a manufacturing environment. This study aids in the creation of a framework for judging the weights of TPM components. Together, qualitative and quantitative methods have produced reliable results. Data have been gathered using a questionnaire that was correctly constructed. The KPIs have been used to examine the impact of the external environment on internal manufacturing sector elements. By using the pair-wise comparison approach of the analytical hierarchical process, the weights of TPM key performance indicators were determined. It has been noted that in the studied manufacturing industries, work environment and competitive advantage are given less importance than increasing productivity and quality. To construct a model for today's needs based on actual data and philosophical justifications, this study's outcomes provide a thorough typology of TPM techniques and their performances in the manufacturing realm.
