Changeover time

What this is

The average time a press sits stopped to switch jobs, across all presses.

Timed from the ERP job log, then checked against the camera over each press.

Why it matters

A press makes nothing while it switches jobs, and this plant switches jobs about 44 times a week.

Last week

72minutes

Down another minute, with press 7 at about 45 minutes and press 12 near an hour.

This week

73minutes

Up a minute, as waits for molds on press 5 outweighed faster swaps on presses 7 and 12.
