| Summary: | Nowadays, consumers expect manufacturers to
provide excellent quality, reliable delivery and competitive
pricing. This demands that the manufacturer>s machines and
processes are highly reliable. In order to possess highly reliable
machines to make sure smooth manufacturing process, many
organizations have implemented Total Productive Maintenance
(TPM) as the enabling tool to maximize the effectiveness of
equipment by setting and maintaining the optimum relationship
between people and their machines. Overall Equipment
Effectiveness (OEE) is used as a measure when evaluating the
result of TPM. This paper intends to find out the difference
between before and after the TPM implementation to OEE
result. Comparison between before and after the implementation
of TPM is carried out to see the difference that TPM can bring to
an organization. Elements that constitute the OEE equation will
be analyzed in order to identify which one that affects OEE
result. After identifying, improvement will be made on that
element so that OEE result will be improved ultimately. The
approach used in this paper is experimental and the instruments
used to collect data are observation and interview. Microsoft
Excel is used to analyze data obtained and calculate OEE.
Hence, TPM is a useful tool in helping firm to achieve optimal
manufacturing process. By being able to achieve this level of
maintenance, an organization will be able to reap competitive
advantages brought by TPM, thus, producing quality products
that manage to satisfy customers and subsequently generating
greater profits. |
