DESCRIPTION:Event Description:\n\nQuick Changeover/Set-Up Reduction \n\n
Purdue University Fort Wayne leverages the resources of Purdue University by teaming up with their MEP program to offer this training.
The Mission:
To advance economic prosperity, health, and quality of life in Indiana and beyond. Purdue Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) provides high value, affordable solutions to help businesses increase profitability. As advocates for Indiana's thousands of manufacturers, our staff leverages resources in both the public and private sectors to help identify areas of improvement, streamline processes, and ultimately increase competitiveness.
Quick Changeover/Set-Up Reduction
Quick changeover is a lean manufacturing technique that can improve manufacturing efficiency by significantly decreasing changeover time. Quicker changeovers can reduce manufacturing costs and increase flexibility.
In this workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of set-up reduction in applying quick-change thinking to any type of setup or industry. This training focuses on attaining quick changeover through the systematic elimination of the internal components of a setup while streamlining the final procedure.
Objectives:
- Demonstrate a thorough understanding of quick changeover and setup reduction concepts and principles.
- Know how each step of the changeover improvement process contributes to setup reduction or elimination.
- Document all the tasks or elements that make up an existing changeover process.
- Apply the Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) system to analyze changeover tasks and identify improvements.
- Implement quick changeover improvements and monitor results.
- Develop a plan to standardize improvements.
Intended audience: Manufacturing personnel, including technicians, engineers, and managers
