Abstract

Modern manufacturing requires that to be successful organization must be supported by both effective and efficient maintenance .One approach to improving the performance of maintenance activity is to implement and develop a Total productive maintenance strategy. However it is well documented that a number of organization are failing to successfully implement such a strategies. The aim of the project is to identify the key factors, which are responsible for the effective Total productive maintenance (TPM). In this thesis an Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) approach has been employed to prioritized the relative importance of six critical factor and Twenty-three sub factors. AHP helps in finding out the more dominating factor, which has priority over others. Pair wise comparison removes the state of ambiguity when giving weihtagee to the factors. Management commitment has been found the most effective factor after the analysis. Critical Success factors have been decided after discussion...
