DESCRIPTION
Lean espouses the value of short runs, low inventory production and rapid response times. However, much of the equipment in our organisation was not designed with quick change overs in mind and down times of over an hour are not uncommon. It is well understood that long changeover times lead to large batches in production and poor time utilisation in many other industries.
In this one day workshop you will learn and get to practice the techniques of quick changeover (also known as Set-up Reduction and SMED) in a fast-moving and interactive setting.
Workshop Outline
- Background of Quick Changeover (Single Minute Exchange of Dies)
- The business case for quick change overs
- The changeover team composition
- Wastes and losses
- Recording and analysis techniques
- Separating External from Internal changeover activities
- 4-step improvement – Eliminate, Combine, Rearrange and Simplify.
- The scientific experimentation cycle
- Action planning
- Ongoing measurement techniques
- Classroom changeover activity utilising all the program steps.
Quick Changeover methods have been used to reduce:
- Haul truck engine replacement duration by 60% in the mining industry
- Beverage can printing changeovers by 50%
- Production tool changeovers from 2 hours to less than 9 minutes
- Paint can size change from 1 hour to 12 minutes
- Heavy vehicle servicing by 40%
- Industrial tube and pipe line changeover from 2 hours to 12 minutes.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Engineering and maintenance personnel, shop floor team leaders, set-up personnel and operators from industries as diverse as Mining, Dairy, Manufacturing, Distribution and Logistics and even Administrative.
