In recent times, many organizations implementing total productive maintenance (TPM) have been failing in their attempts due to different barriers and challenges in TPM implementation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the barriers before manufacturing organizations for adapting to proactive total productive maintenance (TPM) initiatives. It is observed that in the case of TPM, top management should be committed to involve from the beginning to implement and follow up, as this decision is complex and involve huge investment in the long term. Before starting implementation, top management should be convinced of the necessary justification, which requires analysis of various barriers such as lack of top management commitment, lack of human resource management, high turnover at top management level, lack of co-ordination between different departments. This paper has tried to develop a framework for analyzing the barriers in TPM implementation
