CONCEPTUALISATION FOR IMPLEMENTING TOTAL PRODUCTIVE MAINTENANCE THROUGH THE ISO 9001:2008 STANDARD-BASED QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

This paper conceptualises the integration of total productive maintenance (TPM) and ISO 9001 certification by contributing a model called TPM 9001:2008. Through this conceptualisation, the eight TPM pillars are amended to the five major clauses of the ISO 9001:2008 standard. To illustrate this conceptualisation, the contents of a sub-clause of the TPM 9001:2008 model are presented, and the rationale behind its designation is appraised.
