Where can computer based diagnostics can be used as part of an effective TPM maintenance system

Engineering again. I really don"t get it.
If anyone has any information or any ideas, I would be very grateful. Any sites noted would also be great.
Thanks :)

In TPM the machine operator performs much, and sometimes all, of the routine maintenance tasks themselves. This auto-maintenance ensures appropriate and effective efforts are expended since the machine is wholly the domain of one person or team. The service, maintenance and total machine hours data of each machine is saved in excel sheets. This data gives a good idea of the behaviour of machine with respect to work loads. The maintenance team can set predefined service intervals on machines basing on the work rate. All this information can be controlled and monitored on computers.
Alternatively DCSs can be used on the machines and connected to a server. The service intervals can be set on each machine and controlled by a server. This I guess is a very advanced method. I dont know any company implementing this. May be Toyota!
