This opinion is constantly changing because of new competition and economic pressures. For example, the Japanese now own the consumer electronics industry. Changes in the automotive industry are well documented, and for the first time Western dominated industry such as computers and aviation are facing serious challenges by foreign competitors. Other companies and cultures have proven they can compete successfully in the world marketplace with western manufacturing. To confront this challenge, enlightened organization leaders are benchmarking their organizations‟ performance and improvement processes against domestic and international competitors. They are adopting and adapting best in class manufacturing practices and improvement processes. As part of these benchmarking efforts Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) has been identified as a best in class manufacturing improvement process.
