Abstract

In recent scenario, due to technological development and globalisation the manufacturing industries have become more competitive in nature which made all the manufacturers to improve their productivity to meet their customer demand. The manufacturers invest more on machines for high productivity but when these machines get repaired it leads to maximize the lead time and breakdown rate and hence the manufacturers had to meet a huge loss in their productivity. The aim of this study is to implement total productive maintenance lean technique to reduce the overall lead time and break down hours in a manufacturing industry with the objective of reducing thirty percentages of the breakdown hours in the foundry. The breakdown problem was identified in the industry and it shows that the major contributor to the breakdown hours is at the level of casting manufacturing in foundry. After proper analysis solution has been suggested for reducing the overall lead time and break down hours. From the results it was found that, about twenty percentages of reduction in the breakdown hours was achieved in the industry after implementation of lean tool.
