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; program SS, Autonomous maintenance, 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 application and measurement. A program has been designed and implemented in the form of checklists to measure TPM performance within industrial plants. The objectives of the research are: First, reduce the gap between officials in the production and maintenance departments, which are usually in 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 the TPM program. In the case study under consideration; (AI Awael Food Industries Co., 6th of October City, Egypt) many problems were detected as a great loss in maintenance time operations, lack of proper training for workers in the maintenance management, shortage of spare parts, lack of coordination planned maintenance, lack of AM and increase of maintenance costs. Therefore, many objectives were set for this study such as designing a program to measure the performance of TPM within the industrial facilities, apply the principles of TPM in the required manner, and reduce the maintenance management costs through the application of the principles of TPM. As the student is the main influencing factor in the educational process, we had to design a maintenance approach to raise students’ technical proficiency. Accordingly, a total production maintenance approach consisting of eight units representing the eight principles of total productive maintenance has been designed |
