Abstract
Reliable manufacturing equipment's play a vital role in the performance improvement of Indian Small & Medium Enterprises (ISMEs) in this highly competitive scenario. In this paper, authors have approached a large number of small and medium manufacturing organizations to get the contribution of TPM implementation strategies in ISMEs towards realizing manufacturing performance improvement. Most of Indian manufacturing organizations, especially ISMEs work under pressure to perform better in the future. In this paper, the authors have prepared a questionnaire to identify input parameters (TPM implementation strategies) and output parameters (manufacturing performance improvement). The study investigates that all the input parameters have a positive impact on output parameters in the ISMEs through Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) calculation. Multiple regression analysis (MRA) is used to find the key input parameter for the improvement of manufacturing performance. Statistical analysis of the collected data for the calculation of the PCC and MRAis done by using SPSS software.
Keywords- TPM, ISMEs, TPM strategies, Preventive maintenance, manufacturing performance improvement.
