The time between the last good piece off the current run and the first good piece off the next run. Definition of Changeover Time
Traditional Changeover Before improvements, basic setup tasks and related time breakdowns: Percent of time of changeover Preparation, after-process adjustment, checking, storing, and moving materials, parts, and tools 30% Removing and mounting parts and tools 50% 5% Machine measurements, settings, and calibrations 15% Trial runs and adjustments

What Does Quick Changeover Involve? • Planning • Practice • Innovation • Standardization • Continuous Improvement
Impact of Quick Changeover Improved On-Time Delivery Key Benefits Flexible Response to Customer Needs Reduced Lead Time Decreased Costs, Increased Capacity Increased Accuracy, Improved Quality
Document the Current Changeover • Document all the tasks or elements that make up the current changeover • Capture and visually organize data about the changeover • Identify changeover improvement priorities Document Analyze Lean Basics SMED Standardize Implement
How Do We Improve • A systematic approach is needed • Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) • Developed in the 1950’s in Japan • The goal is to get every changeover under 10 minutes (single digit) • You can not get there in one step or one event
The SMED Approach • Identify internal vs. external changeover tasks • Analyze each task’s real purpose and function • Focus on no/low cost solutions • Aim to eliminate changeover time
Three Stages of SMED • Separate Internal and External Setup • Convert Internal Setup to External Setup • Streamline Internal and External Elements Setup Reduction
SMED: Separate Internal and External Setup • Separate Internal and External Setup • Develop and implement changeover checklists. • Perform function checks on parts and tools. • Reduce transportation of tools, parts, and materials. • Convert Internal Setup to External Setup • Streamline Internal and External Elements Setup Reduction
SMED: Separate Internal and External Setup Develop and Implement Changeover Checklists • Develop specific checklists for every piece of equipment and major process. • What is needed? • Where is it needed? • Who needs to do what? • How long should it take? • What are the proper operating conditions? • What are the correct settings for the next operation? • Keep checklists up-to-date and visible to all. • Use checklists consistently prior to every changeover.
SMED: Separate Internal and External Setup Perform Function Checks on Parts and Tools • Are all of the changeover materials in good working order? • Tools • Parts • Jigs • Fixtures • Have all materials been checked far enough in advance to allow time for repairs?
SMED: Separate Internal and External Setup Reduce Transportation of Tools, Parts, and Materials • Reduce non-value added movement of changeover parts, tools, and materials • Transport changeover materials before the machine shuts down • Focus on no/low cost solutions
SMED: Convert Internal Setup to External Setup • Separate Internal and External Setup • Prepare operating conditions in advance • Standardize functions • Use intermediary jigs • Convert Internal Setup to External Setup • Streamline Internal and External Elements Setup Reduction
SMED: Convert Internal Setup to External Setup Prepare Operating Conditions in Advance • Preheat parts and tools to required temperature before they are needed • Achieve correct pressure levels before start-up • Position materials near point-of-use
SMED: Convert Internal Setup to External Setup Standardize Functions • Eliminate time-consuming adjustments • Focus on functions such as dimensioning, securing, gripping, and centering • Replace the fewest possible parts by changing the way we perform the function
No/Low Cost Solution: Standardize Functions Die Plate Adjusts Shut Height
SMED: Convert Internal Setup to External Setup Use Intermediary Jigs • Design and build standard-sized, removable plates or frames • Externally attach and adjust die/parts • Eliminate internal adjustments to individual parts during changeover
SMED: Streamline Internal and External Elements • Separate Internal and External Setup • Implement parallel operations • Eliminate the need for adjustments • Use functional clamps • Mechanize functions • Convert Internal Setup to External Setup • Streamline Internal and External Elements Setup Reduction
SMED: Streamline Internal Elements Implement Parallel Operations • Divide changeover tasks between two or more people. • Maintain detailed changeover procedures. • Who’s doing what? • Sequence of tasks • Required time for each task • Reduce wasted motion, avoid confusion, and ensure worker safety.
SMED: Streamline Internal Elements Eliminate the Need for Adjustments • Use visual marks to indicate correct settings • Create “quick set” mechanisms to handle different functions • Install fixed stops to indicate where a part should be positioned
No/Low Cost Solution: Use of Numerical Scales Numerical Scale
No/Low Cost Solution: Use of Positioning Pins Positioning Pins Positioning Pins
Setup Reduction Tools • Cartridges • Standard work (dance cards) • Quick release handles • Off line setups • Water spider (pit crew) • Setup documentation • Improved machine reliability
SMED: Streamline Internal Elements Use Functional Clamps • One-turn methods • One-motion methods • Interlocking methods
No/Low Cost Solution: One-Turn Methods Pear-Shaped Hole Method Tighten Here Attach and Remove Here
No/Low Cost Solution: One-Turn Methods Wing Nut Method
No/Low Cost Solution: One-Motion Methods Cam Method
SMED: Streamline Internal Elements Mechanize Functions • Use to fine tune, not significantly reduce, setups • Consider only when changeover reaches the three-minute range • Focus on no/low cost solutions
SMED: Streamline External Elements • Separate Internal and External Setup Maintain a Visual, Organized Workplace • Convert Internal Setup to External Setup • Streamline Internal and External Elements Setup Reduction
Three Stages of SMED • Separate Internal and External Setup • Convert Internal Setup to External Setup • Streamline Internal and External Elements Setup Reduction
Analyze Analyze Changeover Tasks and Identify Improvements • Distinguish between internal and external setup tasks. • Identify and apply proven techniques to convert internal to external setup tasks. • Develop streamlined processes for internal and external setup tasks. • Create an improved changeover process.
