Abstract
Improvement of both the product quality and
productivity is mandatory for a company in order to
sustain in this competitive market. In the recent times,
manufacturing industries have to face a tough
competition from its rivals for its existence in the
market. This can be done only with the availability of
machines in the industry. One can also say that by
making the machines available for long time without
breakdown can improve both its quality and
productivity. Total Productive Maintenance aims to
increase the availability of machines by the reduction of
Downtime or Breakdown time of machines. The aim of
this study is to find out the major breakdown that
causes maximum production loss of the company using
Pareto Analysis. Also Cause and Effect Diagram is
conducted to explore the possible causes for the
breakdown. Some counter measures are suggested as
corrective action towards the end so that Downtime of
machine can be reduced.
