Abstract

Indian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the heart of large organisations because every large organisation is purchasing a number of components from SMEs. In this study, the authors have made a qualitative model to find the preferred improvement strategy (TPM strategies) for implementing them in Indian SMEs by using an options field methodology (OFM), options profile methodology (OPM), analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy set theory (FST). For this, first of all find various issues concerning improvement strategies and performance improvement through a questionnaire. OFM has converted these issues into options and then categorise them. The authors have identified four improvement strategies as profiles or a course of actions by using OPM. Pair wise comparison of AHP methodology is used to find the weight of various objectives of manufacturing performance improvement. Finally, FST is used to rank these four improvement strategies by making weighted position matrix and dominance matrix.
