  • Integrated Product Support (IPS) Elements Guidebook Has Now Also Been Extensively Updated to Reflect Current Policy and Guidance
    Product Support Management IPS Elements Guidebook Forward In October 2009, Section 805 of Public Law 111-84 established the key leadership position of Product Support Manager (PSM) and reiterated DoD’s commitment to life cycle product support management. By 2010, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (ASD) Logistics and Materiel Readiness (L&MR) concluded the seminal work to develop and implement a Product Support Business Model (PSBM) and published a series of Guidebooks to assist the Product Support Manager (PSM) in the execution of his or her duties. These Guidebooks included the “DoD Product Support Manager Guidebook”, the “DoD Product Support Business Case Assessment (BCA) Guidebook” and the “DoD Logistics Assessment (LA) Guidebook”. Since 2010, the existing Product Support Guidebooks have been updated and a few new ones have been developed to fill information gaps. This Integrated Product Support (IPS) Elements Guidebook has now also been extensively updated to reflect current policy and guidance. It picks up where the Product Support Manager Guidebook Appendix A left off in describing the 12 IPS Elements. Program Managers, Product Support Managers and Life Cycle Logisticians should use this Guidebook as a reference source and training aid supporting their responsibilities, tailored to the needs of each program. The term “Integrated” in the term “Integrated Product Support Element” is critical. The Product Support Manager must understand how each element is affected by and linked with the others and should employ all

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4596 Print ISSN:0975-5861 Total Productive Maintenance: A Case Study in Manufacturing Industry By Melesse Workneh Wakjira, Ajit Pal Singh Adama Science & Technology University Abstract - The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the contributions of total productive maintenance (TPM) initiatives towards improving manufacturing performance in Ethiopian malt manufacturing industry. The correlations between various TPM implementation dimensions and manufacturing performance improvements have been evaluated and validated by employing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in boiler plant. The research focuses upon the significant contributions of TPM implementation success factors like top management leadership and involvement, traditional maintenance practices and holistic TPM implementation initiatives, towards affecting improvements in manufacturing performance in the Ethiopian industry. The study establishes that focused TPM implementation over a reasonable time period can strategically contribute towards realization of significant manufacturing performance enhancements. The study highlights the strong potential of TPM implementation initiatives in affecting organizational performance improvements. The achievements of Ethiopian manufacturing organizations through proactive TPM initiatives have been evaluated and

  • The Role of Maintenance Operator in Industrial Manufacturing Systems: Research Topics and Trends
    applied sciences Article The Role of Maintenance Operator in Industrial Manufacturing Systems: Research Topics and Trends Alessia M. R. Tortora * , Valentina Di Pasquale , Chiara Franciosi , Salvatore Miranda and Raffaele Iannone Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Salerno, I-84084 Fisciano, Italy; [email protected] (V.D.P.); [email protected] (C.F.); [email protected] (S.M.); [email protected] (R.I.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-3481294189 Abstract: Maintenance contributes to gaining high business performance, guarantees system avail- ability and reliability as well as safe and sustainable operations. Maintenance activity effectiveness depends on competences and the skills of operators whose performance strongly affects maintenance and production operations. The research field of human issues in industrial maintenance was deeply addressed in the literature; however, the current industrial paradigm, which focusses on the integra- tion of new technologies in conventional manufacturing operations to support human performance, sheds light on new challenges for enterprises and opportunities for research in this field. While some literature reviews in the field of human errors and human factors are available, no study investigated the main topics, research trends and challenges related to the role of maintenance operators in manu- facturing systems. This paper addresses the current state-of-the-art role of maintenance operators in manufacturing systems, providing an overview of the main studies. A systematic literature review was carried out to identify significant papers. Then, a topic modelling algorithm was used to detect the main topics of the selected papers to provide the research trends of the subject. The identified Citation: Tortora, A.M.R.; Di topics provided interesting research insights on the human role in industrial maintenance.
