nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Diploma Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Aalen (unbekannt), language: English, abstract: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract:Modern manufacturing requires that organisations that want to be successful and to achieve world-class manufacturing must posses both effective and efficient maintenance. One approach to improve the performance of maintenance activities is to implement a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) system.The aim of this dissertation is to prove that the introduction of a TPM system is by no means an easy task, because there are several barriers that encumber the implementation process, the driving forces to success have to be identified and well understood, and a process of organisational change has to be managed successfully.The study analyses impediments, barriers and obstacles to the implementation procedure and discovers key success factors concluding with a conceptual framework for a successful TPM implementation.The dissertation also examines the challenge of managing change within the TPM context and identifies that such a TPM journey requires employee and management commitment to be successful.Through a case study of implementing TPM in an automotive supplier company, the practical aspect within and beyond basic TPM theory and problems encountered during the implementation are discussed and analysed.The paper concludes that the implementation of TPM is definitely not an easy task, which is considerably burdened by organisational, behavioural and other barriers, and necessitates the difficult mission to change peoples mindsets from a traditional maintenance approach.Inhaltsverzeichnis:Inhaltsverzeichnis:Title page01Declaration and Word Count02Abstract03Acknowledgements04Table of contents05List of figures09CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION101.1Importance of TPM101.2Problem statement and objectives111.3Research methods121.4Structure of the study13CHAPTER 2LITERATURE REVIEW142.1Defining TPM142.2Basic concept142.3Performance measurement172.4New roles of operators and maintenance staff192.5The JIPM s 12 steps to implement TPM212.6The connection between TPM and TQM232.7TPM in the view of change25CHAPTER 3METHODOLOGY293.1Company profile and TPM background293.1.1General information about the company293.1.2CME: The plant of the focus of this study303.2Explanation, justification and limitations of selected methods323.2.1Focus group discussion323.2.1.1Data collection procedure333.2.1.2Data evaluation343.2.2Participant observation353.2.3Document analysis36CHAPTER 4FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS374.1Impediments to the implementation of TPM374.1.1Behavioural barriers374.1.2Organisational barriers414.1.3Other obstacles and barriers454.2Key success factors for implementing TPM494.2.1Management commitment494.2.2Training and Education504.2.3Communication514.2.4Award and recognition524.2.5TPM Committee534.2.6Measures of performance53CHAPTER 5CONCLUSIONS565.1Assessment of research objectives565.2Implications of this study575.3Limitations and suggestions for further research59References60Bibliography63Appendices64AOrigin and diffusion of TPM65BShort Statement of Learning66CFocus group discussion guide67DFirst page of focus group transcript73ECompany contacts74.…
