Track: Reliability and Maintenance

Abstract

In the present competitive world most of the manufacturing industries are skirmishing by providing their best productivity. In this research article an attempt was made to analyse and implement the total productive maintenance system in a yarn manufacturing industry. At present the textile yarn manufacturing industry is incapable of supplying the product to the customer at the right time in turn to satisfy the customer to increase the productivity. This problem is occurring due to the high lead times in the regular manufacturing process. More over the frequent breakdown of machines leads to consume more cycle times for the existing process. Hence, by proper analysis and implementation of total productive maintenance system the overall efficiency of the industry may be increased and the said problems may be minimized. From the results, after implementation of total productive maintenance it was found that the overall equipment effectiveness has been increased between 5 to 8% for the various components. Similarly, the availability of the machines has also been increased up to 90%.
