Discussion on key successful factors of TPM in enterprises

It generally takes 2.5 to 3 years for an enterprise to implement TPM in a full swing; however, the actual duration depends on each company’s corporate status. Generally speaking, for a company with big staff, it even takes 3 to 5 years, but the major consideration should depend on whether the actual benefit is remarkable or not. This research aims to find out whether total productive maintenance (TPM) was carried out by enterprises, to inspect the enterprises’ current performance, and to make comparison with those enterprises that have successfully carried out TPM. Through the findings, we hope to provide reference for enterprise owners when they carry out TPM, so as to reduce the cost for fumble.
