In this paper, the dynamic implications of Total Productive Maintenance are analysed. After discussing why the successful implementation of this concept might fail, interrelations between the pillars of Total Productive Maintenance are identified. The focus of the research conducted is the analysis of fundamental structures and the identification of a strategy for the implementation of Total Productive Maintenance. This strategy has to consider the interplay of the different pillars of this maintenance approach. A system dynamics model gives valuable hints for a successful implementation taking the different influences of Maintenance Prevention and Preventive Maintenance on the Overall Equipment Effectiveness as the central performance measure of a maintenance system into account. The article contributes to a better understanding of the dynamic behaviour of Total Productive Maintenance. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
