Abstract

The purpose of this research project is to assess the effect of Total productive management (TPM) implementation in manufacturing companies in Rwanda to improve the production lines performances; we will focus on BRALIRWA plc as our case study. Manufacturing companies in Rwanda and round the world pay huge amount of money for purchasing new equipment to improve their production output however nothing or little is done to achieve full output from their current installations, small losses in time or deviations from planned or calculated capability are taken as usual line performances. Nevertheless, currently because of improved capability levels and demand of quality product at lower prices, purchasing latest production line is not a solution, unless the current installations is fully used and optimized. TPM is a method that involve everybody from top management to all workers, it is a systematic approach to eliminate waste associated with production equipment and machinery, minimize machine downtime resulting from unexpected breakdowns, fully utilizing a machine’s capabilities. The implementation of TPM can lead to significant manufacturing cost reductions, improvement in production efficiency and allow manufacturing organizations better placed to survive in increasingly competitive regional and global markets. The researcher used primary and secondary data; questionnaires were given to 14 employees of BRALIRWA Plc, working in logistics, maintenance and production departments. BCS data for the company were used to evaluate the lines performance and volume development. After analysing the data, the researcher found indeed a positive trend of the line performance (OPI) and volume from the period 2019 to 2020. implementing TPM at BRALIRWA Plc has supported in a steady improvement year by year of operational performance, with increased performance lead to increased volume thus increasing the company profitability, much more involvement of employees in the program as well as consistent use of reward and recognition system were recommended. On the other side, this research has proven that using TPM in production activities supports in a sustainable lines improvement, thus recommended to other manufacturing companies in Rwanda. Key words: TPM, BRALIRWA, BRALIRWA PLC., RUBAVU
