| Abstract | ||||
| The maintenance activity is as important as the production activity. In order to reduce production cost and increase production efficiency, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is employed. TPM has several key principles; 5S, selfmaintenance, continuous improvement, planned maintenance, education and training, quality maintenance, occupational safety and health, senior management support and participation of all departments. By implementing these principles, productivity can be improved by reducing downtime, improving quality, adhering to specified delivery times, improving working conditions, and increasing employee morale. This research focuses on the effective role of the TPM principles in achieving the objectives of the industrial companies, enhancing the cooperation and coordination between different departments of the company, especially the participation of all workers in the production and maintenance process, 6th October City has been selected for M2 application and measurement. A program has been designed and implemented in the form of checklists to measure TPM performance within industrial plants. The aims of research are: first, to reduce the gap between production and maintenance which is usually found in the standard independent maintenance. Second, to put a clear plan for predictive maintenance and provide adequate training for the company staff to apply TPM principles. Improvement in the Mean and Standard Deviation of applying the TPM which are 6% and 5.29% respectively have been achieved by applying TPM program. | ||||
