Article Preview

Abstract:

Today companies are implementing total productive maintenance in order to become world class industries to have a competitive edge over worldwide. In this regard Kobetsu Kaizen (Focused Improvement) pillar having a very significance effect to solve the specific problem. The main aim of this paper is to implement the complete Kobetsu Kaizen methodology of TPM, to solve the issue related with the sudden drop of availability rate of hobbing machine in a gear manufacturing cell. The result of the paper shows the advantage of Kobetsu Kaizen pillar implementation in the sense that breakdown frequency of the machine has been reduced considerably.
