Abstract

This paper explores the influence of Preventive maintenance (PM) practices namely; Time-based maintenance (TBM); condition based maintenance (CBM); Predictive maintenance (PdM); on Malaysian manufacturing sector.  The reason behind these PM integration on manufacturing performance is to obtain efficiency in minimize the error of production operational activities and machine breakdown in promoting effective towards realizing the goal of organization performance. Moreover there are many studies has proved that PM acted as a prominent paradigm to improve the manufacturing performance to gain further competitive advantage. Thus this research analyse the influence of Preventive maintenance (PM) practices on manufacturing performance in terms of cost, Quality, flexibility and delivery. This study employed quantitative analysis. From total 600 questionnaires distributed only 155 questionnaires was retuned. The Smart-PLS was used to analyse the data. The overall analysis shows that preventive maintenance practices (TBM; CBM; PdM) was positively contribute to the Malaysian manufacturing performance. The result will help Malaysian manufacturing companies in improving manufacturing performance through PM practices to compete in global market.
