Cover Story: The manuscript discusses the obstacles and key aspects of successfully implementing Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and lean tools in manufacturing enterprises. Although TPM is known to improve maintenance, there are many obstacles to its successful implementation. Failure to properly implement TPM can result in additional costs and lost time, and it can have a negative impact on employees. Through a survey conducted across various companies, the paper provides valuable insights and recommendations for enhancing the sustainability and efficiency of TPM and lean tools. The aim of this study was to recognise key factors that can negatively impact the introduction and sustainability of TPM and lean tools in general. View this paper
