The intended impact is a 15% reduction in downtime and a 20% decrease in maintenance costs. Value creation stems from enhanced operational efficiency and asset utilization. Resources required include TPM training for staff, investment in maintenance software, and initial TPM audits.
• Upgrade Technological Infrastructure: Modernize gaming and facility equipment to improve reliability and customer experience. The goal is to increase customer satisfaction and reduce equipment-related disruptions. Value creation comes from higher customer retention and operational reliability. Requires CapEx for new equipment and OpEx for ongoing maintenance.
• Develop a Digital Gambling Platform: Enter the online gambling market to capture new customer segments. The goal is to diversify revenue streams and reach a broader audience. Value creation is expected through increased market share and revenue. Requires investment in software development and digital marketing.

Total Productive Maintenance Implementation KPIs

KPIS are crucial throughout the implementation process. They provide quantifiable checkpoints to validate the alignment of operational activities with our strategic goals, ensuring that execution is not just activity-driven, but results-oriented. Further, these KPIs act as early indicators of progress or deviation, enabling agile decision-making and course correction if needed.

• Operational Downtime Reduction: Measure the decrease in operational downtime to gauge TPM effectiveness.
• Maintenance Cost Savings: Track the reduction in maintenance costs to evaluate financial impact.
• Customer Satisfaction Score: Assess customer satisfaction to ensure improvements are positively received.

The implementation team utilized the Total Quality Management (TQM) framework to ensure a holistic approach to maintenance and operational efficiency. TQM emphasized continuous improvement, employee involvement, and customer focus, which were crucial for the successful implementation of TPM in the organization. The team followed this process:

• Conducted training sessions for all employees to instill a culture of continuous improvement and quality management.
• Implemented regular audits and feedback loops to identify areas for improvement in maintenance processes.
• Engaged frontline staff in problem-solving activities to enhance their involvement and commitment to TPM goals.

The team also employed the Six Sigma methodology to reduce variability and defects in maintenance processes. Six Sigma's data-driven approach was instrumental in identifying root causes of equipment failures and inefficiencies. The team followed this process:

• Defined critical maintenance processes and established performance metrics to monitor their effectiveness.
• Measured current performance levels and identified gaps through data collection and analysis.
• Analyzed root causes of maintenance issues using tools like Fishbone Diagrams and Pareto Analysis.
• Improved processes by implementing targeted solutions and best practices.
• Controlled the new processes to ensure sustained improvements and prevent regression.

The implementation of TQM and Six Sigma resulted in a 15% reduction in operational downtime and a 20% decrease in maintenance costs. Employee engagement and morale improved, leading to a more proactive maintenance culture.

The team leveraged the Technology Life Cycle (TLC) framework to guide the modernization of gaming and facility equipment. TLC provided insights into the stages of technological evolution and helped the organization make informed decisions about technology adoption and upgrades. The team followed this process:

• Assessed the current technological state of gaming and facility equipment to determine their position in the technology life cycle.
• Identified emerging technologies that could enhance operational efficiency and customer experience.
• Developed a phased plan for technology upgrades, prioritizing critical areas with the highest impact.

Additionally, the team employed the Value Chain Analysis framework to understand how technological upgrades could enhance value creation across the organization. This framework helped identify key activities that could benefit from technological improvements. The team followed this process:

• Mapped the organization's value chain to identify primary and support activities influenced by technology.
• Evaluated the impact of technological upgrades on each activity, focusing on cost reduction and value enhancement.
• Implemented technology solutions that optimized key activities, such as gaming operations, customer service, and maintenance.

The implementation of TLC and Value Chain Analysis led to increased reliability of gaming and facility equipment, resulting in higher customer satisfaction and reduced equipment-related disruptions. Operational efficiency improved, contributing to a more seamless gambling experience.

The team utilized the Business Model Canvas (BMC) framework to design and develop the digital gambling platform. BMC provided a comprehensive view of the business model, including value propositions, customer segments, and revenue streams. This framework was essential for aligning the digital platform with the organization's strategic goals. The team followed this process:

• Defined the value proposition for the digital gambling platform, focusing on unique features and customer benefits.
• Identified target customer segments and tailored the platform to meet their specific needs and preferences.
• Developed revenue streams and pricing strategies to ensure profitability and sustainability.

The team also applied the Lean Startup methodology to accelerate the development and launch of the digital platform. Lean Startup emphasized iterative development, customer feedback, and rapid prototyping. The team followed this process:

• Built a minimum viable product (MVP) to test the core functionalities of the digital platform.
• Collected feedback from early adopters to refine the platform and address any issues.
• Iteratively improved the platform based on user feedback and performance metrics.
• Scaled the platform incrementally, adding new features and capabilities over time.

The implementation of BMC and Lean Startup resulted in a successful launch of the digital gambling platform, capturing new customer segments and diversifying revenue streams. The platform's user-centric design and iterative improvements led to high customer satisfaction and increased market share.
