The Role of Total Productivity Maintenance In Improving The Overall Equipment Efficiency: A Case study

The study's purpose is to analyze the working efficiency of the machines and determine the proposed improvement. This study was conducted using four steps, namely, determining the level of machine effectiveness , determining the value of losses affecting the low level of effectiveness, using Pareto schemes to determine the most widespread losses, identifying the proposed improvements, and then calculating the value of the six losses again and analyzing them through the Pareto chart. From this study, the effectiveness of the machine is still below the global level, which is 32.87%, as the most common losses are Breakdown Losses 39,40%, and the problems that were found are caused by non-adoption of preventive maintenance, lack of operator skills, and the proposed improvement is through the adoption of maintenance programs Preventive, cleaning and continuous inspection of machines, and increasing the skill of workers through training programs and adoption of continuous improvement teams
