Description

ABSTRACT

In response to the pressing necessity for companies to enhance their product delivery efficiency, the reduction of setup time emerges as a crucial initiative. Setup, also known as changeover, often stands out as a time-consuming activity that adds no value to manufacturing operations. This paper aims to demonstrate the implementation of setup time reduction methods within a medium-sized manufacturing plant to diminish the overall process lead time. The project, centered on the application of Shigeo Shingo's Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) methodology for setup reduction, took place during a kaizen event. The systematic problem-solving approach, rooted in Deming's Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, served as the foundation for generating and executing improvement ideas. An "idea assessment prioritization matrix" was developed to assess the viability of each idea. Consequently, the process setup time saw a significant reduction, decreasing from 80 to 43 minutes, with additional opportunities for improvement identified. The paper also explores the broader applicability of such techniques, not only in medium-sized plants but also in large-scale manufacturing industries engaged in mass production across various global locations.
