Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)is considered as one of the most important programs that enhance the overallinternal process; hence, significant operational results can be easily achieved. On theother side, it is crucial to sustain such results over time. To gain such sustainability,companies need to identify the critical success factors for the implementation of TPMprograms. Moreover, they need to introduce and implement actions that supportthese critical success factors as a foundation before establishing a TPM program. Inthis paper, Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) methodused to identify such critical success factors. The proposed approach applied in anEgyptian factory that is dedicated to produce a set of plastic parts. After applying theproposed approach, it concluded that “Cross-functional team work”, “Settingorganization objectives”, “Providing on-job training” and “Availability of information”are the most critical factors. After working on such factors and starting the TPMprogram, key performance indicators such as the overall equipment effectiveness(OEE) improved from 60.0% to 73.1% in a period of 15 months.}, keywords = {Total Productive Maintenance,Success factors,DEMATEL,Overall Equipment Efficiency}, url = {https://amme.journals.ekb.eg/article_35008.html}, eprint = {https://amme.journals.ekb.eg/article_35008_7a035e393abd82edb1fa6f3fb192346f.pdf} }
