Abstract

Purpose – In the current global market, textile industries are facing relentless pressure to optimize efficiency and effectiveness to maintain a competitive edge and ensure long-term viability. Acknowledging such a situation, this study aims to identify and implement critical Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)-driven strategies to enhance Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in the textile dyeing section. It further explores how these improvements contribute to long-term economic sustainability, especially in emerging economies. Design/methodology/approach – By utilizing both quantitative and qualitative analysis by an integrated TPM and interval-valued q-rung ortho-pair fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (IVQROF-DEMATEL) method, this study identified the significant TPM-driven strategies by determining their prominence ranking, followed by the implementation of the vital strategies with the goal to enhance OEE and promote economic sustainability. Findings – Among the strategies, “Quality maintenance through precision dosing with closed-loop feedback control (S2)” and “Planned monitoring of water flow control with IoT sensors (S12)” were most prominent. After implementing the prioritized strategies, OEE improved from 68.6% to 76.3%, reflecting a 7.7% overall increase. This improvement stemmed from increases in availability (5.58%), performance (2.45%), and quality (1.43%), emphasizing the importance of TPM’s planned, quality, and autonomous maintenance pillars. Originality/value – This study is the first attempt to develop a decision-support model for enhancing machine maintenance strategies for the textile industry dyeing section by integrating the IVQROF-DEMATEL method with the TPM framework. It also contributes to the performance management literature, indicating that a strategic approach to TPM can not only enhance OEE but also promote economic sustainability in emerging-economy manufacturing environments. The outcomes of this study may serve as a guiding framework for future industry-oriented research conducted by noble scholars.
