Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) - Case Study

Case Study 1
Case Study 2

Case Study 1

Problem –

A world famous and premier IT company has been looking to find a way out of paperbound processes. Digitizing their core entity, by removing all paper bound processes was their end goal. Operation administration was working with manual data collection, a process that wasted paper and printing material. The data encoding that was done so far was error prone, as typographical errors done through manual data encoding was a regular issue that the company had to deal with. Integrating a new software for Production Management that increased efficiency was conceived.

Solution –

The new solution helped the company on many fronts. From human resources to inventory management. The software solution could be used all over the organization.
It provided –

➤ Accurate calculation of timelines, and effective resource utilization.

➤ The software solution was mobile. Production plants in multiple countries were using the same solution as the one used in the parent company’s plant.

➤ The entire process of production control was taken care of by the solution.

➤ Everything from material input, order in-take by clients, production procurement, production lead-time estimation and quality control was handled by the software.

➤ Human resource management was made easier, making for efficient staff profiling, attendance, and salary/compensation database.

Result –

Fast processing and a very low rate of error, made it the perfect solution for the needs of the company. The employees were now enabled with the tools to work at full capacity in many different areas of management. They were able to run production on-time, depending on the requirements of the clients. Raw material usage could now be tracked accurately, which gave the company efficient raw data on manufacturing and stocking needs, depending on the needs of production.

Case Study 2

Problem –

An FMCG company that specializes in machined components and fasteners, the company was looking for ways to implement TPM methodology in their production plants.
The study was conducted to see the various ways TPM methodology could be implemented.
A questionnaire was developed, which was swiftly circulated across the workforce, recording problems and feedback. Major losses incurred during production, wastage, and elements that hindered quality of product were identified using time study and statistical analysis.
Some of the problems they identified were.

➤ Defects in final product.

➤ Low production rate.

Solution –

Solutions for the main problems that were identified include –

➤ Roller die pressure, Roller Speed and Material hardness. Several levels of testing, ranging from high to low, were conducted on these three, which directly affected the quality of the final product. A series of design experiments were conducted by taking two and three levels of factors. Complete factorial design was conducted afterwards on the response variable.

➤ The second issue was resolved by giving due importance to increase in production rate. It was found that the low production rate was directly due to the larger cycle time for each operation. Cutting, Chamfering, Grinding and Threading. They were earlier conducted on separate machines. But when the traub machine was studied, it was found that it had provisions for special attachments, which reduced the number of processes by 3.

Result –

Over the course of this exercise two levels of improvement were made possible. Both quality improvement and product improvement. These were done by properly implementing the principles of TPM, to improve both utilization of equipment and utilization of manpower.
