To the top managers as well as the front line workers, in the earlier stage of TPM, it is usually viewed as waste of time. production and cost and confusion of job definitions. For the purposes of justification of high cost of initial stage and demonstration of improvements of capital productivity, vast amount of data and information concerning about various functions of firm should be identified. retrieved and analyzed, effectively. TPM should show how significantly maintenance can make profit for company'. Hidden cost, for example, resulting from various losses should be identified quantitatively and reduced as a coorporate level.
This paper contends that TPM should be introduced and implemented as well as an effective software for its evaluation simultaneously.. Later part of this paper is to test a suggested software system for a real case.
