Design and Implementation of Robust Framework for Improvement of Productivity through Total Productive Maintenance in Textile Industry: A Research Article

Abstract:

From analysis of data taken during the past three years, the company has noted that it has not achieved the targeted productivity. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) has been a major component of improvement strategy to enhance the organizational productivity and profitability. Identification and uses of resources play a critical role in any industry for the improvement of quality and productivity. The fabric industry could not get the determined productivity since TPM was not followed. The research objective of this paper is to present the result of past three years productivity data and discussed different results obtained after implementing the procedures of TPM in the sick textile industry. A systematic methodology is presented and analyzed for improvement productivity at the factory level. Metrics of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is introduced and developed a structured robust frame work for improvement of quality and productivity.
