A 7 weeks study was undertaken at a beverage industry to gather various losses data associated with the functioning of the production line. A Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) Kobetzu Kaizen Technique was adopted to eliminate these losses and the concept was later compared with the plant’s existing maintenance methods. Test results showed that a 7 day implementation of TPM increased the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) by 50% >7 weeks adoption of the in-house maintenance practices and with a high tendency of achieving >85% on overall equipment effectiveness if fully executed. Total productive maintenance was also found to be superior in reducing or eliminating losses as well as increasing equipment uptime. ER -
