Abstract

The globalisation of markets, growth of customers' expectations, widening competition puts pressure on SMEs in India. To withstand with such issues and contend with large and global enterprises, SMEs need to implement inventive approaches in their operations. This study has empirically tested the effect of critical faults for machinery manufacturing such as equipment problem, procedure problem, personnel error, and design problem, training deficiency, and management problem, external phenomena and TPM pillars such as 5S, autonomous maintenance, continuous improvement (kaizen), planned maintenance, quality maintenance, education and training, safety, health environment control on SMEs in India. A survey was carried out on a sample of 473 manufacturing SMEs operating in the manufacture of machinery and equipment, packaging, automobile, chemical, food processing and metal processing in India. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 16 and scilab 5.3.3 is used to analyse data obtained. The hypotheses are tested and a generic model of FMEA and TPM is proposed for SMEs in India to improve their reliability and quality.
