Abstract

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is one of the main maintenance management strategies based on the principles of Lean Manufacturing (LM). The emergence of the Industry 4.0 (I4.0) paradigm has promoted the massive digitization of several functional areas, with predictive maintenance standing out as an ideal field for the application of IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) sensorization and data analytics. However, TPM encompasses many more techniques and the scientific literature shows that the integration of I4.0 with TPM needs further development to understand how technologies can support continuous improvement. This paper explores the relationship between TPM and I4.0 tools. It proposes a roadmap for its implementation in SMEs to achieve a Cyber-Physical TPM 4.0 system. The proposal is being validated by means of a practical case study in an industrial SME, with no previous experience in TPM, and which is pursuing the digital transformation of its processes. Keywords: SME, TPM, Industry 4.0, Cyber-Physical
