Abstract

Focuses on total productive maintenance (TPM) practices in Italy. Surveys a set of companies in manufacturing industry and where programme kick‐off only has been performed. Employs the most important findings of the survey to design and implement a new taxonomy, by means of which TPM programmes can be classified along seven dimensions that refer to the most relevant characteristics and properties of each TPM programme. Finally, suggests a more general conceptual model capable of outlining the distinctive features of each TPM approach when facing a specific industrial environment.
