Abstract: Ready Made Garments (RMG) sector has been the biggest earner of foreign currency for Bangladesh since the last few decades. Garments industries have been playing a major role in redefining the infrastructure and economy as well. Todays’ world of competition brings both opportunities and challenges in this sector. Productivity, efficiency of these industries can be achieved through implementation of perfect maintenance strategy and design. This paper aims to enhance the existing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) for the pitfall areas in the plant. After examining the current loophole, the research focused on improving OEE factors by adopting a hybridized Total Maintenance (TPM) scheme. To achieve a better outcome, the company agreed to implement the recommended plan appropriately. The OEE has been upgraded from about 57% to 69% due to the proper management and execution of the proposed TPM model. The result has provided an indication of maintaining sustainability to achieve the world class benchmark and founded a solid basis to implement the exploratory TPM model in the plant
