Eliminating Obstacles in TPM Implimentation In Sugarmill Industry

Abstract

In the dynamic scenario of technology, many technological innovations are available to contribute in the analysis of Equipment Efficiency, minimized input v/s optimized output, minimizing the overall consumption, effective use of machineries and finally increase in production rate by expenditure and consumption of sources. Since the starting of technological era, Scientists/ Researchers have put mammoth efforts to increase production rate. To embark with, many small inadequacies of equipments and machines can lead to the huge losses in small to medium scale industries. Implementation of TPM in various industries has contributed its effective role but not much work available with small to medium scale sugar mill industries in India.In Ajnala Cooperative Sugar Mill, Amritsar, the author has contributed that the mill management avoid doing the changes with traditional approaches of productivity for example changes in setup and maintenance scheduling. So to remove the obstacles, the author has suggested several steps to bring the minimum but necessary changes in maintenance and repairs. The author made an attempt to increase the Overall Equipment Efficiency and to decrease the high rejection rate, downtime, and setup time to compete with others similar industries by applying Total Productive Maintenance in the small scale industry by eliminating the upcoming obstacles successfully.
