Abstract

This paper aims to examine the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) as the significant technique to improve the maintenance management of production equipment. Attempt was made to discuss the available literature related to existing techniques in maintenance management, particularly on breakdown maintenance (BM), preventive maintenance (PM), predictive maintenance (PdM) or condition-based maintenance (CBM), reliability-centered maintenance (RCM), computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) and TPM. The outcomes from these reviews would serve as useful guidelines for the future research in maintenance management. This review justifies TPM as a comprehensive technique to improve the flaw in maintenance management. Notably, TPM encompasses of all elements applied by other maintenance methodology, from tools and techniques to involvement of all operational hierarchical in the organization as what is very much required in manufacturing organization is to integrate different functional areas in a coherent manner.
