The Effect and Influencing Mechanism of TPM Factors to Performance

  • Published : 2002.12.01

Abstract

This study tries to analyze how TPM works in domestic manufacturing industry by estimating two-stage model. First stage tests the effects of five TPM-factor variables (TFV : (1) Small group activity & Autonomous maintenance, (2) Education & Training, (3) Planned maintenance, (4) improving effectiveness of each piece of facility (5) Safety & Environment) to two TPM-performance variables. Second stage tests how two TPVs affect the industry's productivity level. By combining these two stages, this study uses a model to explain how TPM, represented by TFVs, works to improve productivity via TPVs. Multivariate and univariate regression and correlation analyses were peformed. It is shown that five TFVs works in two different ways to improve the industry's productivity level. In the second stage, overall equipment effectiveness has relatively more significant effects to the productivity level.
