Abstract
Details how Land‐Rover was one of the leading companies in the UK to adopt total quality management (TQM). Shows that in order to provide both effective and efficient maintenance in accordance with TQM needs, Land‐Rover (LR) reintroduced in 1994 total productive maintenance (TPM) in its manufacturing plant in Birmingham, UK. TQM is not possible without TPM so demonstrates how, in order to achieve its goals, TPM in LR is assisted by a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). Describes in full the implementation steps of TPM, the difficulties encountered, and the usefulness and necessity of a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) for the successful implementation of TPM in LR.
