Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Total Quality Management (TQM) are closely interrelated philosophies within modern management practices, both aiming at continuous improvement, waste reduction, and enhancement of organizational performance.

Their relationship lies in their shared objectives, complementary approaches, and integrated implementation in achieving operational excellence. TQM emphasizes a holistic approach to quality, involving every employee in improving processes, products, and services. It is customer-oriented and aims at zero defects through continuous improvement techniques such as Kaizen, benchmarking, and quality circles.

The relationship between TPM and TQM becomes evident in their common goal of defect prevention. In TQM, defects are viewed as deviations from quality standards, while in TPM, machine inefficiencies are seen as sources
