Total productivity management (TP management) provides a system for coordinating all the various improvement activities occurring in a company so that they contribute to top management’s goals for the entire company. Starting with a corporate vision and broad goals, these activities are developed into supporting objectives, or targets, throughout the organization. The targets are specifically and quantitatively defined.
Productivity is an area that is of prime focus of industrial engineers. Total productivity management is an enterprise level initiative in which industrial engineers need to take initiative and take up leadership position.
Saito and Yokota authored a chapter on TP management in Maynard's handbook of industrial engineering. I wrote a small review on the chapter on google's knol.

What is Industrial Engineering?
What is industrial engineering?
Industrial Engineering is Human Effort Engineering and System Efficiency Engineering.
Human effort engineering is designing human effort required in production of goods and services as well as in distributing them. In human effort engineering the human factor is to be integrated with machines and materials involved in producing goods and services. The human effort has to be productive, comfortable, safe and health for the operator and the organization.
System efficiency engineering is evaluating the production, distribution and administrative systems for efficiency and improving them where needed. System levels studies deal with integration of resources as well as with utilization of single resource.

Three Major Components of Industrial Engineering
After writing number of articles explaining What is industrial engineering, I feel:
IE is better explained as having three components.
1. Human Effort Engineering
2. Systems Efficiency Engineering
3. Systems Design, Installation and Improvement Management.
All the techniques that IEs use can be categorised under these three heads. Human Effort and System Efficiency are the core focus areas of IE and IE has broadened to systems design management.
I am developing number of online articles to explain my categorisation and the present list of such published articles is:
