Abstract
Manufacturing tools such as total productive maintenance (TPM), reliability centred maintenance (RCM), six sigma and root cause analysis can transform a business but they will not be effective unless the right foundations are in place. These foundations include leadership, alignment, teamwork, innovation, change management, and process mapping. Additionally, the following kaizen principles help make things right: 5S, go and see, 5 whys, applying quick changeovers, and having problem-solving sessions or kaizen events routinely. The foundations and kaizen principles are discussed.
