Setup and Quick Changeover
Introduction
Organizations that produce product in equipment-based environments should have setup reduction as a cornerstone of their Lean journey. A good understanding of the concepts and tools is needed as many people confuse the definitions of setup reduction and quick changeover. This chapter creates a baseline for understanding the concepts so you can be prepared to train and implement effectively with your team.
Downtime by definition is non–value added. It is the waste of waiting, as the machine is “waiting” to be turned on—whether from breakdowns, planned maintenance, or in the case of this playbook, for the setup to be complete.
Setup is the act of performing tasks at the end of a production run to the start of another production run. Changeover is part of the overall setup activities. To help explain, let us start with describing the four steps of a setup.
- Preparation
- Removing and mounting parts
- Measurements
- Trial runs and final adjustments
Preparation
- Retrieving material, supplies, and parts
- Reviewing paperwork
- Retrieving tools
- Retrieving tooling and fixtures
- Ensuring parts, tools, and tooling are functional and working properly
- Performing simple cleaning of equipment
Removing and Mounting Components in Machine (Changeover)
- Disconnecting fixtures, part(s), and material
- Connecting fixtures, part(s), and material
- This step is the changeover.
Measurements
- Measuring, calibrating to prepare for a production run
- Centering, dimensioning, measuring temperature/pressure, and so on
- Checking settings
Trial Runs and Final Adjustments
- Test piece to verify setup is complete
- Make adjustments as needed
- Potentially make a second test piece
