▶ What is changeover
Changeover is the process of switching from producing one product or part number to another on a machine or a series of linked machines.
It involves changing parts, dies, molds, fixtures, and so on.
The goal of changeover is to reduce downtime and increase efficiency in the production process.
In the manufacturing industry, changeover time is measured as the time between the last piece of the current run and the first good piece produced after the changeover.
This time can range from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the complexity of the production process.
Reducing changeover time is essential for increasing productivity, and there are several techniques for doing so.
▶ SMED for changeover
One such technique is called Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED).
SMED is a Lean Manufacturing tool that focuses on reducing changeover time to less than 10 minutes.
SMED accomplishes this by breaking down the changeover process into two categories: internal and external setup.
Internal setup refers to the activities that can only be performed while the machine is stopped, while external setup refers to the activities that can be performed while the machine is still running.
By reducing the time required for internal setup, SMED can increase the time available for external setup, thereby reducing the overall changeover time.
▶ Conclusions
In summary, changeover is a critical process in Lean Manufacturing that involves switching from producing one product or part number to another.
By reducing changeover time, companies can increase productivity and improve efficiency in their production process.
