The goal of this study is to provide insights into total productive maintenance implementation as a business strategy in a manufacturing SME in Nigeria that has had success in implementing it. A combination of a qualitative and quantitative investigation was used for this study, which comprises of literature review, questionnaire survey, comprehensive interviews, and direct observation. In order to achieve competitive advantage in the manufacturing sector, implementing TPM is an effective business strategy, thus this study reviewed Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) implementation as a business strategy in a manufacturing SME in Nigeria, and it was found that Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) not only improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) but also created a safe working environment enabling workers to achieve goals working as a team, thus increasing morale in the enterprise.
