Quality and Maintenance of manufacturing systems are closely related functions of any organization. Over a period of time two concepts
have emerged which are Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Total Quality Management (TQM) along with other concepts to
achieve World Class Manufacturing system. In this paper experience of implementing Total Productive Maintenance is shared and
investigated for a company manufacturing automotive component. Concept is implemented in the machine shop having CNC turning
centers of different capacity. Overall Equipment Effectiveness is used as the measure of success of TPM implementation. The losses
associated with equipment effectiveness are identified. All the pillars of TPM are implemented in a phased manner eliminating the losses
and thus improving the utilization of CNC machines.
