Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to review literatures related to total productive maintenance (TPM) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The first part of paper presents the research background to underline the importance for SMEs to integrate holistic maintenance strategies in their productions. The second part of the paper briefly covers the history of equipment maintenance, followed by systematic discussion of TPM, including the definition of TPM, the eight pillars, the objective of TPM, and the benefits of TPM. Next, the paper summarizes the influencing factors and analyzes case studies to seek research gaps in TPM. As findings, the paper revealed that the suitability of TPM in SMEs and the need in research to pay attention to the implementation method by fully considering the changing characteristics of SMEs.
