Maintenance Strategy for the Old Lathe Machine in Teaching Workshops at Technical Vocational Education Training Institutes

The TVET workshop equipments for machining should be in a state of high readiness. However, due to inadequate machine care and maintenance procedures, the performance and readiness of this training equipment fall short of industry standards. This study aims to develop a framework strategy for Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) for TVET institutions. The critical success factors of maintenance strategy were identified using the Delphi and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodologies. Subsequently, Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) was utilised to develop a new maintenance framework strategy. The use of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) to evaluate maintenance strategy performance indicates a significant improvement.
