Abstract
As increasing competition drives New South Wales industry toward higher efficiency, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) would seem a valuable tool. In this paper, academic literature on TPM, which is sparse (only two other empirical studies), is summarised. The hypothesis that TPM will improve plant effectiveness in NSW is considered in order to gain a perspective of the potential of TPM to improve plant effectiveness in a more complex mix of industries than existing research has established. The results of the research are discussed, and the conclusions are presented as the basis for investigating potential for improving plant effectiveness.
