本研究探討TPM之設備自主保養活動所應用之IE學理與技巧。由於臺灣地區產業升級需求殷切，具有國際競爭力也是國內業界所共同追求的目標。因此，引進TPM之設備管理策略也高度受到國內產業界之重視。TPM之導入係以5S為基礎，接著依序展開八大支柱，其中自主保養活動支柱主要精神為使每一位操作者能有「自己的設備、自己來維護」的觀念，實施自己設備的日常點檢，並對於異常的現象能提早發現並改善。TPM設備自主保養活動能培養設備操作員使其具有發現異常的能力、設備條件設定能力、修理復原及維護管理能力，也因而可使企業之生產部門充分掌握設備應有之性能以達成預期之經營目標，因此設備自主保養活動在TPM推動過程中扮演極重要的角色。 從國內學者先前之研究報告指出，目前國內企業在推動TPM過程中，面臨教育訓練規劃之困難。本研究即針對國內TPM教育訓練之需，以文獻探討法、理論分析與比較、及專家意見法分析TPM之設備自主保養活動所應用之IE學理與技巧，包含：(1)由TPM設備自主保養活動的目標及進行方式，分析出相關之IE學理，及(2)依推動TPM設備自主保養活動之時程，歸納出IE相關之教育訓練課程及教育訓練對象。 本研究結果希望能藉由有系統的闡明TPM設備自主保養活動過程與IE學理之關聯性，來提供業界或輔導單位當參考，以協助其在TPM設備自主保養活動推動時能適切的規劃出前置的教育訓練課程，包含專業領域內容、訓練對象（不同的管理層級）及所需之教育訓練時機等，以助益國內企業之競爭力提昇。

　　　　　This research is concerned with the application of Industrial Engineering's (IE) theory and technique to the implementation of Autonomous Maintenance of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM.) In last couple decades, Taiwan's domestic industry has changed from labor-intensive to technology-intensive type, industry become highly rely on precision and automated equipment in order to increase product's quality and to retain global competition. Therefore, more and more local enterprises took advantage of TPM's facility management strategy to pursue "zero breakdowns, zero accidents, and zero defects" manufacturing environment. A previous investigation on implementation of TPM in Taiwan indicates that many domestic companies faced difficulty in designing the proper employee training programs for TPM implementation. This research analyzes IE theory and technique that are applied to the implementation of TPM's Autonomous Maintenance activities. Analyses include what IE theory and technique are applied to different steps of Autonomous Maintenance implementation, and what required knowledge should different levels of personnel possess to assure a successful TPM implementation. The results of this study specify the training material that relates to implementation of TPM's Autonomous Maintenance activities, schedules for the training, and to whom the training may concern; it will be a good reference for establishing a proper training program for TPM's Autonomous Maintenance activities. We also expects to bring in interests and resources from academic institutes to assist enterprises in TPM implementation, and therefore to enhance domestic industry's global competition.
