Quick Changeover

Time is money. When a piece of equipment is down while the team prepares for a new product run, every second counts. Extended changeover times can cause longer lead times, production delays, and increased costs. Quick changeover is a methodical approach to reducing changeover time by streamlining activities, simplifying tasks, and mitigating adjustments.

During the course, participants will learn about the main steps to conducting a Quick Changeover event, which include:

• Team Selection
• Measurement of Current Changeover Times
• Data collection and analysis
• Identify Internal and External Elements
• Conversion of possible Internal Elements to External Elements
• Eliminate or Streamline all Elements
• Documentation and Implementation
