Abstract

The current study aims to test the correlation and impact of the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) system on clean production practices. A questionnaire was used as a tool to collect data and information, which was distributed to a sample of workers at the Domestic Wire Factory in Ur Company, Dhi Qar Province. The sample size was 55 individuals, of which 53 were found to be suitable for analysis. This indicates an 88% response rate. To reach the desired results and perform the appropriate statistical analyses, the SPSS (version 28) statistical packages were used. The study found that the pillars of comprehensive production maintenance have an impact on promoting clean production practices, as these pillars contribute to reducing waste of materials and energy, improving the efficiency of production processes, and increasing the utilization of available resources. The study also recommended that production organizations apply the principles of Total Productive Maintenance and develop preventive maintenance programs and ongoing training for employees, as this is important for promoting clean production practices and achieving environmental sustainability.
