    Abstract

    Published in SOAR: Shocker Open Access Repository by the Wichita State University Libraries Technical Services, October 2025.This project investigated the impact of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) on a Bavius 5-axis CNC machine used in aircraft floor beam production. In Fall 2024, students partnered with Spirit AeroSystems to assess and improve maintenance using 5S, OEE, and value stream mapping. This study identifies inefficiencies, evaluates process effectiveness, and offers recommendations. Early results show mixed outcomes, providing key insights into TPM’s role in boosting operational efficiency
