Abstract

The volatile position of the Indian market is driving the manufacturing organisations to adopt various improvement techniques in Indian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Total productive maintenance (TPM) can also be implemented as an improvement technique. It is the utmost need to identify certain key success factors (KSFs) which helps the TPM implementation in an organisation. The objective of this research is to identify the KSFs behind the TPM implementation in Indian SMEs successfully. Researchers identified eight KSFs from the literature review, questionnaire survey and experts' (academia and industry) opinion. Interpretive structural modelling (ISM) is used as an approach to establish the hierarchical structure for analysing the interrelationship among the various KSFs of TPM implementation in Indian SMEs and also develop an integrated model. ISM also classified these KSFs into driving KSFs and the dependence KSFs in this study.
